I unfortunately, have to replace my tired old truck. It was an extended cab so I had kept a couple rods and my tackle box in it at all times for a last minute fishing trip. It looks like I may not be able to afford an extended cab (thanks to the Cash for Clunkers program that destroyed the used vehicle market for buyers, but that's another story), so I have a question for y'all.

What ways are there to store fishing rods safely and securely? No cap, the smaller rod can probably fit inside a tool box in back but not the 11 footer, no toneau cover.

I was thinking some sort of wood box under the rails and over the wheel wells. Or large diameter pvc pipe mounted to a rack system. I figured maybe someone out there has a more clever solution.

TIA
