Heres a pic of them:
Just make sure the end of the angle iron is below the bottom of the bar or else the bar wont sit up right. I used a hack saw to cut it, and a dremel to widen some of the holes so that the bolts would fit through. Total cost was around $14.
The pic doesnt show it well but I used the bolts that were holding on the plasic "skid plate" to also support the mounts.

that 'plastic skid plate' is an 'air dam' it stops the air passing under the truck and forces it up into the engine.
those brackets are actually shelving supports. Home Depot should carry them. I would suggest putting on MULTIPLE coats of rust oleum primer and finish coats before u mount the finished piece cause that stuff is gonna rust especially if you have road salt.

Its slotted angle iron. It can be used for many many things. The greatest thing about it is its galvanized, so it wont rust. I did paint mine just because it would have lookd funny with out it.
