Take a look at these pictures, lots of different configurations. Kind of depends on how "hidden" you want the fasteners.

Hit up the pomona swapmeet and talk with the vendor in the VW section that makes those. he might be able to make one for your truck.

I'd say we need to get a better idea of exactly what you are attempting to do. Roof rack on a pickup, roof rack on a burb or panel? or a trick looking lumber rack for the back of the pickup? Or one of those junky looking steel tubing and expanded metal things that the gortex brigade likes to stick on their rigs to go to the woods with?
