Homemade Truck Bed Drawers

Recently we bought a new truck and I decided straight away I would build some drawers for the back. They came out great and will be perfect for keeping things organised, especially when camping. The drawer slides work very well and much cheaper than buying them, $230 a pair was the cheapest I could find for the size I needed. Hopefully I've shown enough here to help you build your own but if you need more info on this style of runner then you should find plenty with a search.

We are about to set off on a family road trip and I finished these just in time! The bad news is we're going for two and a half weeks so there won't be a new video for a while. I'll get straight back to it as soon as we get home! ;)

As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

Excellent presentation...having spent forty years as a carpenter I really appreciate seeing nice work neatly executed...

My husband made these way back in the 60's when he was starting out as an electrician. The last time he made them for his work trucks, he made the outer box with sheet metal. The drawers are still wood with locking metal fronts and track rollers. We have them in the mini van to store beach chairs and camping stuff. He's made me all kinds of stuff, a built in bed with under bed storage boxes.

Love the project, bonus point on not including obnoxious music, or talk-over.
We can easily see what you were doing, good job on the camera angles and process.
Ace!

Brilliant mate, straight to the point, no music no histrionics, a perfect how to do clip. Thanks mate

WOW, I could only wish to have those tools and skills!! How the hell can anyone dislike this guys craftsmanship?? I mean really?? Amazing work and although I have no skill set in this area, it just motivated me to learn! Bravo Sir!!!

[miklawson]

One of the clearer instructional videos on how to make the drawers. Thanks for the video.

[elhigh]

When all your weight was in one drawer, I was truly impressed.

[brianpalha]

Speeding up the video was brilliant. You taught your viewers so much in the shortest time possible. Thanks for the tutorial.

[DavidLaFerney]

When I built mine I didn't use any kind of slide mechanism - just lubed everything with paste wax. A good fit between the drawers and case supported them just fine. Yours are absolutely much nicer, but mine were 2" wider for not having slides. I used them as a contractor for years until I traded work trucks.

Just saying that you can get an awful lot of utility out of a simpler design if you want.

Great video!

As a qualified Car restoration/chassis Technician & also a qualified Carpenter this is the he best I’ve seen to date. Simple clean well executed and I’m going to steal it thanks dude.

I made thee about 5 years ago shortly after the video came out, they have been excellent and are clearly going to outlast the actual vehicle. They've done the Oodnadatta track twice including the old Ghan road and out to Chambers pillar, Googs track, and a heap of other corrugated shake the shizer out of you roads. Cheers Pask!

I was holding my breath when you climbed into them! What beautiful work, so functional and looks great too!
I would have put some hinges on the front top section so I could access drawer without pull out if needed.
Loved the glides you created, great idea and saves money over pricey glides. I will be using that myself. Thanks for a great video!!

[fernandog.aguirre]

Great work. Im a experienced finish carpenter and this guy knows what he was doing and the right steps of doing it! Nice!!!!

[birddogmason]

I was just about ready to make these for my 4Runner, now that I’ve watched your video, I’ve got the plan, Thanks, love your channel by the way

[Akhazmat]

I don't always give praise, the one I do it's for a job like this. This is better than any shit that you can buy or pay someone to build for your truck. Great work sir.

[michael.schuler]

Excellent video editing as well. Crystal clear presentation, and not a bit of wasted footage to sit through.

[forzajuve]

the beauty is the sound that your drawer makes as the slides work perfectly..well done

[brendaswann]

WOW. That’s all I can say You are good I bow to you.

[pauln]

Mate ... I've built van drawers before on a real shoe string budget and they worked well but so many good ideas from this video. Your end result is absolutely next level too. So good, thanks for posting .
