I briefly considered this route but I’m not really sure where to start. I assume I’d need to fab up some type of mounts or perches for the bags. I’ve had helper bags in other trucks so I’m somewhat familiar with them and they’d maybe work but putting it together might end up a bigger job than starting from scratch.
