I just got my set of 5" Grand Rocks stacks... I am installing them myself this weekend, and have run into a snag... How do I attach the stacks to the bed? The kit does or did not come with any kind of bracket to mount to the rim of the bed... Any help you can give me would be great...

Reason: typo
Hmmm, thats kind of weird assuming you have dual stacks you should have 2 "l" brackets that would mount upside down with a bolt and then the clamp with go across the crossed portion of the L. I will see if I can find a link. http://www.blackclouddiesel.com/Stacks/stacks.htm
look at the picture there and PUB-L and PUB-R are what you are looking for.
if they didnt come with any dont sweat it too much... just go to your local hardware store and they will have something similar to that t-bracket. mine brackets from the kit i bought have broken a time or two before and just bought a few t brackets from the hardware store and they are holdin up just fine still
I have the Grand Rock kit also and they have been on for over a year now and i could never get that bracket to stay on so I just took it off and tightened the ones at the bottom really tight and havent had any problems.

I found them, they are stuck to the bottom of the box...
when I installed my stacks I was not a fan of the cheap brackets that came with my kit. I went to the big truck chrome shop and found these. they were $5 each. I took them home, scuffed them, primered them, and hit them with some gloss black hi heat paint. They still look this way a year later.
Here is another pic so you can see how they clamp the stack.
brandon.. what kind of paint is that you have on your stacks?
The stacks themselves are MBRP and they are ceramic coated. The in bed kit was done with VHT gloss black that I picked up at the local parts house. I painted the in bed pipes to match the stacks before I installed it all. The VHT on the bed pipes has held up well, it hasnt chipped or flaked, but it has lost its gloss.
