All you would need to use this mount is to provide a semi-vertical surface
for it to clip on to. Possibly a piece of wood, plastic, etc. secured
across the backs of the bucket seats.

It's a nice idea but really, anything that's not inside the cab WILL get
caked with mud out there, so unless you seal it up good, it won't work.
Plus, the mud will still come into the cab through the slider.
