Roofing tar sounds promising but I still wouldn't chance it.
I used the same principle on mine. Avoided drilling any holes in the truck; used holes or bolts already in place, fabbed brackets to support the panels from L-angle metal (flat straps flop around too much to suit me). Had pretty good results with the first half of the truck covered. Did a full belly and didn't see much difference.
Be sure of what bolts you loosen though. I loosened two that required a new front end alignment. WHoops.
