How tall do you want to go and how much load will you put on it? There have been some square tube and aluminum tubing do it yourself plans I have seen in the amateur radio community. Some of them however have very limited top load capacity as many of them are designed as supports for ends of a long wire antenna.
You can find flagpole hitch mounts cheap on amazon and build some sort of nested pipe/conduit arrangement if the height requirement is not too much.

Our power company has this pickup truck with a gigantic mast on the rear end. I assume they're testing their smart meter junk with it....or something. My question is where can I get one of those?! I'm definitely jealous of their survey pole size.
