$500? Yikes. No.

Take a look at the top three options on this page:

and add a single bar to the roof of your cab (Thule or Yakima
half-packs are like $100-$130). Add a couple of cradles and straps,
and you should still be under $300. That would be the max you'd need
to spend. (If you go with a cheap foam cradle strapped directly to
your roof, you might get under $200, but the roof bar is much more
versatile). And if you can find any of this stuff used, even cheaper.
