That was nice

Nice!

[@shaunalcantar1545]

Do you have a Video of what materials you use to allow it to roll as well as the locking mechanism?

[@jmalinowski1000]

I can dig it. Good job.

[@BmoreDIY]

Thanks!

[@ChrisD-kl3ty]

Nice.

[@LKL369]

You sir are doing the lord's work 👏 I was just thinking about doing something similar with the chest portion of my old us general 5 drawer cart. I'm trying to have it come out on its side on a track like you've done, but also have it pivot 90 degrees for better access.

[@BmoreDIY]

Thank you, very kind. Part 2 is up now.

[@zachstiles4523]

Could you make a video about the whole bed setup? I like how you used the sides spaces

[@BmoreDIY]

Pt. 2 is up, thx

[@RyanNash20]

I'm 8 months late in seeing this, but you could put some springs behind it to elmimate the need for a pull bar most likely. Find some with the right amount of tension that its not hard to lock it in place, but still enough to give it a good push when you pull the release. Or if you've got on board air you could get some cylinders and get real fancy haha. Sweet idea and execution man

[@pibblesnbits]

Springs.....now that is a brilliant idea!

[@LoZReacH]

This is great, you have basically constructed the idea I had in my head for my own vehicle. I'm definitely interested in a more in depth video on the construction of the sliding mechanism, specifically the bearings and the cable lock. Keep up the good work! Also any chance you can make a cost comparison to the materials required to build this versus buying a BedSlide or similar and having it installed?

[@BmoreDIY]

Absolutely, working on it. Should be out soon!

[@neilprice2848]

What is the model number for that specific toolbox? I’m trying to find one less than 22” tall and I’m having no luck.

[@BmoreDIY]

After 2 months, so far so good. No condensation or anything getting in there.

[@chrisguice139]

Sweet build. I had the idea to use a bed slide with a 1000 lb capacity for my 500 lb welder after I found out about the price for the aluma reel set up. Have not done it yet might just leave mounted next to the cab. Best wishes to you.

[@BmoreDIY]

Yea the commercially ready stuff is outrageously expensive, out of my budget. Thats why i did what i did. And all in, it cost me around $200. Thanks for watching.

[@toolsnthings5539]

how dose it hold up with the weather? any condensation in the box?

[@BmoreDIY]

great so far

[@6980869]

How does it track straight? That's the extent of the distance it's capable of traveling? How are the wheel bearings attached? Whats your estimate of the weight of the toolbox? May I suggest you going slightly more in-depth of these mechanisms? Elaboraying a bit more on the locking system as well? Thanks for sharing, regardless. Aloha

[@BmoreDIY]

Box with tools is easily a few hundred pounds. The roller bearings go through the angle iron on both the top and inside of the frame to track straight. I will make a more in depth video of it as suggested. Thx for the support!!

[@Zimmerman8]

What tool box is that? I can’t seem to find the craftsman with the full drawers. Any chance you have a part number or can post a link for it! Thanks in advance.

[@BmoreDIY]

I bought it used off FB Marketplace. Found this link, hope it helps - mylist522.wordpress.com/2013/12/15/craftsman-41-wide-5-drawer-ball-bearing-griplatch-top-chest-stainless-steel/
