Here's what I came up with and it works great...

No permanent modifications were made to the shell or truck. For the rear attachment points, I used the existing bolts for the rear shell window. For the front supports, I used the appropriate sized dowels to fit the head restraint attachments. I never used the rear restraints since they restrict my vision. Any areas that contact the rod are covered with the soft part of a piece of velcro.

Hope this might help.

Thank you
That looks really nice!
