Custom built shelving with sliding drawers serves as the base with a sturdy top to cover the entire shelving area so you retain the use of your truck bed.
Homemade sliding truck bed storage.
This diy truck bed storage project makes two big drawers and then adds a number of compartments to keep things tidy within each.
Rip two strips of plywood the height of the wheel wells and cut them to the bed length minus 3 inches.
Start by framing out the base.
Based on the concept of furniture sliders this is how i built my chevrolet avalanche truck bed slide.
Some beds are tapered so measure each piece.
We used 6 inch strips of plywood and laid them out across the bed to define the truck box outline.
Add a locking truck box on top of that.
The drawers look great while hiding your precious cargo.
