Here's my homemade forks. I took a class 2 carriage and modified it to fit class 1 forks. Got the carriage from work. That involved shortening the height of the frame by about 4", and then grinding out the frame hooks slightly to make it fit the rails. With the forks on, I have about 1/16" clearance on the bottom. I don't have a way to keep the forks from sliding but it usually isn't a issue. They are also usually not hard to move unless I get them caked up with mud.

The top of the first pic shows where the side shift rail was, I hooked this over a ebay skid steer frame and fully welded it up. I have max loaded it out with my loader and my 4 series tractor. Like I said above they are almost always on one of my loaders.
