I thought I would share my version of a raised platform bed that I made for my Taco. I made this out of common boards and 5/8 ply. I wanted something that I could assemble/disassemble and easy. I do not plan to keep it in the bed permanently because I use my truck for keeping my bikes and hauling stuff. Not fancy, not expensive and it works great for my wife and I for camping.
