Default I like 'em stacked

Well I did some horse trading and got a hold of a single stack kit for cheap well I was told (haven't seen it yet) but all I'm getting is a stack, elbow and some clamps so how do you support the stack in the bed? I would like some pictures of some set ups so that I am mimic them with something from the shop...

you could get a staxxx clamp but they are kinda pricey, the way i did it was cut a 'u' in a 1/4 plate of steel and slid it around the pipe coming thru the bed...then i ran two carriage bolts down thru it and the bed. then i welded the pipe to to plate, it holds it good it shakes a little but it works

i have a single stack and i just cut a peice of rectangle tubeing square on the side i weld to the stack and a angle cut on the other so you can run a bead along the edge of the pipe to weld it to the bed.

The problem is you dont have the other stack!!! Its much easier to do it that way. Heres a pic of my buddy's truck but mine is identical. In fact, I made the box myself.

if you use square tubing make sure that it is new. I used an old piece on a 6.5 lost a piece of rust into a load of hay and got a little excitement
