Most pickups have a groove in the side of the bed walls that a 2 x 4 will fit into perfectly(cut to the appropriate length). Go to your LBS and get a $15 front fork clamp to mount to the 2 x 4. I have transported bikes in my PU for several years this way. Toyota Tundra with a bed liner if it makes a difference. I know this may be hard to visulaize but the 2 x 4 is wedged across the bed about a foot from the floor of the bed and the front fork clamps on to the gizmo, with the wheel removed of course. Works for mt. or road bikes. Good luck.
