Looking for kit or at least clamps for attaching camper to Tacoma

Hi- I've got a 2010 Toyota Tacoma with plastic side rails that seem like they will work well for attaching a camper. The camper I have is about 150 pounds and has a 1" thick ledge that will set directly on the deck rails. That means I'll need four to six clamps that will have to span a thickness of 2 to 2 1/2 inches to keep the camper attached to the truck. My question is whether anyone has found a distributor for clamps that are optimum for this job? I've seen some random sets of clamps for sale on ebay, but it would seem easier if I could get these at a major store or through an on-line vendor.

In addition, there is about a 3/4 inch difference in elevation between the deck rails on the side and the deck rail on the forward end. I assume I can come up with some 3/4 strip of something, but if anyone has any ideas on that, please share, too. Thanks, Paul
