That should be easy to do. If you don't want a welded rack, just put attachment points on the edge of the roof or top of the side panels. Make up two cross pieces out of wood 2x4s - cedar would be good and weather resistant. Just lie them edge-on on the roof and bolt to the attachment points. Then drill the wood for eyebolts as tiedown points, make some saddles up and bolt those on. If there are cross beams in the roof, you could consider bolting into those instead of the roof edge. the only problem would be sealing any holes against rain - not unsolvable.
