Pick Up Truck Bed Drawers

- I built custom fitted drawers for the bottom of my pickup truck. This was a long overdue project because I needed to get more organized and I also need to make it my tools more secure.
I bought 4 sheets of plywood for this project. Two sheets of 3/4" and two sheets of 1/2". I also purchased a locking handle like the ones frequently used on utility bed trucks. I cut the top and bottom to fit between my existing side tool boxes. I wanted an extra deep drawer so I cut the sides deep enough to fit my tool box and the milk crates I like to store things in. I also left some space in the back behind the cab for storage crates and infrequently used items.
The drawers were constructed from both 3/4" and 1/2" plywood and glued and stapled together for the most part with screws to hold on the fronts. For drawer guides I used both wood and plastic strips. I recommend the wood runners lubricated with bees wax. It works great.
I finished the box all around with oil based exterior grade polyurethane.
This is just what I was looking for!!! 💡Thanks 😀
Glad I could help!
Love the slide idea on the left one. Very handy indeed
Yep it works well
Great channel, appreciate your insight & experience, lots to learn for us rookies...

Glad I could help!
Thanks Bob. Stay safe!
Thank you for the insight about not using the UHMW...I build my table saw sleds out of red oak, dont want to buy those fancy UHMW strips that you see on CZcams. The red oak runners swelled and didnt work when it got real rainy here, so I had to plane them down. Am going to use plywood from now on.
Yep, Often the old school way is best
How are they holding up,
Bees wax still working good ?
As a matter of fact yes. It’s still a good call
Was that a Helms Bakery truck that came
Ah yes, an inspiration for many good ideas
Good job where double you purchase wax sr
If you don't use glue, it's not strong.😢
Yes , glue is good.
The Hellman's doughnut truck? 🛻🍩...😉
Exactly
Yes. It was great when he showed up and that long drawer of donuts!!!
