How To Build Truck Bed Drawers // SUV Drawer // DIY

[@zakframpton]

The first half of the kzbin.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

[@justinsanger6792]

I truly appreciate that you don't use an unnecessary amount of clamps and what not on the prjects and make everyone think they need them for a finished product

[@Old_Beard_Music]

Built these drawers about two years ago and installed them in my Ram 1500, with a 6 foot bed. They are awesome. The plans are well worth the cost. I'm a professional electrician and these drawers are great for what I do every day. I even got fancy and built my own bed slide type pullout on top of the drawers. Really pleased with everything. Thanks for the instructions and the plans!

[@jeffalderson1984]

The roll out on top of the drawers is exactly what I'm looking to do also. Got any pics of how you did it?

[@Bruhsidon]

Know how you feel as well. Im a jman electrician who just started with an hvac company. They gave me a truck that has a canopy with some shelving on the outside and it comes with a sliding floor in the box. A pack rat box like this would be perfect since the shelving on the sides hold shit,and the slide out can basically only handle my cable reels. But theres so many little pieces in our trade, that you need as many drawers as possible haha.

[@jessicaweaver6728]

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up kzbin.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.

I'm so glad I came across this. I just bought a 4x8 trailer that I'm going to make a kayak trailer. I was wanting to make a rod locker and camping storage. I might use ball bearing casters because my drawers will be bigger. Tha KS for the great vid.

[@acrvids]

I love the editing! The video cut straight to the important parts and we weren't left there waiting for you to line everything up and get your tools in position. When you were ready to pop the chalk line, that's exactly where you went with the video. When you drilled in those screws it went one screw to the next without any lag time in between. I don't have a truck and I'm not interested in putting drawers in my van but I still like the video!

[@hmason76]

after much arguing back and forth with myself about the best slide solution. I have decided to use your solution for the slides on my kayak trailer build. I plan to have 3 drawers slide out the back of the box the two outside drawers will hold our fishing kayak paddles, floatation and swivel seats plus other camping gear. The center long pull out won't be so much a drawer but a rod and reel caddy that can be pulled out after all other gear has been added to the kayaks. We've had our kayaks for like a year and still have yet to put them in the water. So hoping to have this build done before the end of summer to take on a trip. Thanks for the ideas from your video.

Best bed storage drawer I’ve seen yet. Plus a single blade shave is still the best way to shave. The closes shave I’ve ever had. Grate project.

[@nateevans6528]

Love it! I plan on making one at some point, I like your locking mechanism, simple and strong. I did want to share one thing with you about bending metal in your vise. When I was younger my dad and I were working on something and we clamped some steel in the vise, gave it a couple swift hits-and broke the front of the vise off! We were told later by an older gentleman that when you pound on a vise make sure the force only goes onto the stationary jaw, not the movable one. Just thought I’d pass on that wisdom. Keep up the great work! God bless and Merry Christmas

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

One question on that.how big of a vise was it.you may have been doing that on a cheap thing or not made for what you did.ive never had that problem before but I guess it could happen.or did you even use heat to weaken the steel up?

[@williamlerche]

This is one of the best videos on the subject. Most don't show the right parts of the construction and skip important stuff. This is a proper DIY instructional video. Cheers mate

[@2chipped]

Very cool! I've built 3 of these for trucks I've owned since the mid 90's, but none currently. All have been treated, due to no bed cap. I've used laminate strips under drawers and on top of floor. 2 were painted before ACQ happened, last one was epoxy painted. I never used a latch of any kind (yours is very cool), I did add lighting on the last one. 2x8 is bare minimum for height in my opinion, 2x6, 2x8,and last was 2x12.

[@jefflogue4884]

I take it your tailgate doesn't already lock. Thank you for your video. Very informative. Big thanks for the rivet idea.

[@ModernGameChangers]

Small upgrade. You can make a lid for the drawers out of food-grade plastic. The main reason is for food prep when camping... or just a nice surface to work on. Works great for cleaning fish as well.

[@Just_Chuck_It]

I am handyman who works out of my truck. I built draws like this for my F150 about 6 years ago. I used ½" ball casters for the drawers to slide on. But I really like this plastic strip idea. My drawers are still going strong and work better than I could have imagined. They don't lock but my tailgate does. And for "handles" I just cut 3½" slots in the drawers. To seal the drawers I used construction glue along along with screws, and I also used chaulking along the seams. Then I used a garage floor sealer or the outer coating and just did each side of the box individually. On the top I added the traction shavings that come with the sealer kit. But honestly, I would rather have the top be smooth. It's nice to have tools with you and still be able to have a bed to a certain degree. I have thought about adding a canopy to my bed with side access windows or sides. But at the same time I like the roll back bed cover I currently have. Really enjoyed your making of this and the shaving of the beard was epic.

[@sabgog]

Great work, one minor nitpicky thing I would suggest would be instead of screwing your pull handles in, to use quarter inch bolts and washers through the wood. Over time screws seem to weaken, especially if you have heavy things in the drawers, or if the drawers get wet from time to time.

[@duneattack]

I noticed you didn't have any retention device to keep those drawers in their respective slots, or to keep them from accidentally being pulled too far out, was that done on purpose?

[@mjrwey]

The tailgate holds them from falling out, its towards the end of the video.

[@EDOutdoors91]

@@mjrwey no the tailgate holds the weight. He was meaning if you pull on the drawers eventually they will come out. Usually there is some sort of stopping block or something in place so that when you pull on them eventually it will stop the drawer from coming all the way out of the frame.

[@chrisdaughters]

@@EDOutdoors91 From looking at the past video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXyXqayabJaKias) I think it was intentional. It makes it easy to take out the drawers if you wanted to keep them somewhere else like the garage. I guess you could take the whole unit out as well.

And people wonder why their taxes are so high.

[@joeshmoe9521]

The standard pricing on the market is the “Decked Option”, while doing so with lumber and carpentry is usually around half of that. Meaning if you could manufacture them, you could charge 850-900$ each.

@@joeshmoe9521 Decked is not the standard for law enforcement. TruckVault is. Decked is a great system for recreational/camping/utility gear. TruckVault is great for storing firearms and similar gear. With that said... this video was amazing and I wish I had the time, space, and equipment to do this myself. My TruckVault system in my Tacoma was nearly 4 grand. The Diamondback Cover was two.

[@w.w.2restorations.vehicles698]

Those are great!! I used to work at Los Angeles Unified School Dist. Maint. & Oper's. in the glass dept. All of the truck had this same system. The only difference is that they were deeper, were surrounded by a steel frame work in the bed and opened and closed on steel rollers. There was enough room in the drawers for a small compartment in each one for screws, hand tools and other needed items. The bed was then covered with 14 ga. steel sheet to enclose the top and the glass rack was installed last. Locks were installed on the tailgate next to the rear end of the fenders. That kept everything secure while the truck was unattended...

[@bradmitchell1774]

You had me right up until you drilled into the bed of your truck. I'm going to go with a rubber mat to lift the tool drawers and prevent movement. Nice drawers. Cheers!

[@scottydog1313]

Nice, simple, and well done. I might do this for my old truck A few tips though, use actual wood screws throughout, not just in some spots. Drywall screws are a poor choice for wood working. They work great for holding drywall, but dont have the strength needed and corrode and break too easily for woodworking. I used to do a lot of deck building and find that deck screws work great for things like this that need a bit of extra strength. I use red Chapstick for what you used the lipstick for. It's not quite as visible, but it works, is cheaper, and doesn't piss off the better half. I've also used a dab of lithium grease or a tiny dab of craft paint before with good results. I loved the chisel shave!. I used to shave with my KA-BAR out in the field every once in a while, just to freak out the boots. It's a bit harder since the blade is so much longer.

Nice drawers,i was a professional builder guy and used them a lot, i found that my friends set didn't slide well after awhile, i used 3/4 in plywood and dadoed all the drawer fronts because i knew the drawers would be heavy ,i also dadoed 2 oak strips into the bottom of each drawer and put high impact plastic where they slid. I used them for 10 yrs and they worked great. don't know if anyone appreciates it but there you go. oh,i also made sliding trays ,which were nice because so much stuff like hoses cords and saws go in low.and the top trays keep everything flat .
