I used the following materials:
- 1/4" cone-nuts (available at local Home Depot)
- 1/4" bolts and washers
- Yakima Blockhead bike mount (ordered online for $16 at sportsrack.com)
The mounting couldn't have been simpler:
- insert bolts and washers into Blockhead
- insert cone nuts in utilitrack channel
- attach Blockhead to cone nuts
Now simply remove front wheel and attach bike to Blockhead.
The only downside I see so far is that the bike's handlebars are higher than the cab roof, which may cause wind noise. Otherwise looks pretty good, I think. Total cost for the three bike mounts: about $60
