You may be able to use JB Weld to splice the pieces without using bolts but if something slid against it and broke the bond, you'd have your load coming right out the back onto the road.
This one appears to be fully adjustable and I think it's even pictured on a Sonoma/S-10.

Great job! That's exactly what I would have done!
