Another Stack Setup?

I am interested in putting a set of stacks on my 96 regular cab. I have it down to 5" miter cuts ending level with the top of the cab. My question is how would I support the whole assembly so it does not wobble around in the bed? Some kind of clamp attaching each stack to the side of the bed? Maybe drilling holes in the inner lip of the bed and running the threaded ends of a clamp through the bed? Wouldn't that cause vibration? What if I wrapped the pipe with heat tape and put the clamp over the tape, like insulation against vibration.
Thanks for the help.

If you look in the big rig stores they ussually carry clamps with integrated hangers and brackets. I just used the clamps themselves as a holddown and welded the studs to the bed. Of course this makes it semi permenant, but I wasn't worried obout that. I've seen everything from heating duct straps to welding the pipe directly to the sheet metal. I didn't like either of those. You could use one of the big rig clamps with sway bar link bushing between it and the bed where you put the bolt through if you're worried about vibration.
