Truck Bed Drawer/Kitchen System

Hey everyone! I've been digging around and haven't been able to find a thread for truck bed drawer/kitchen systems. I did see Dave's amazing pull kitchen but I wanted to see everyone else's ideas and how they built their own versions. As a thread been started for this? Thanks!

 

Keep searching, you'll find them.

Here are some links. You found Dave's but I'm adding it for the sake of future visitors to the thread.

I built mine for about $250 even with high lumber prices. It’s nothing fancy but it has worked for me.

That’s perfect for a few hundred bucks. Too bad I have a short bed though…

 

Cmon dude, use your noggin.

 

mine is the short bed as well, I don’t sleep in there but I could if I wanted to. There are basically 3 pieces; the platform, the box, and the drawers. They all fit together like legos, no tools required to take it out or put in in. No complicated or expensive parts, simple yet functional design.

 

Custom made with 48” sliders and 3/4” plywood.

 

lol you’re not the first or last to accuse me of that

I was thinking I’m too damn tall to sleep on it although it would work in a pinch.

 

Got any pictures of the build? I like it

 

I can maybe get some this evening

 

This is the most active thread I know of. Lots of inspiration here.

I built mine last spring using inspiration from there.

 

Drawers are friction slide and just pull all the way out.drawers are made of 3/4 plywood and a 2/10 cut to 2/9, used the kreg jig to make the drawers. The platform pieces are 3/4 plywood with carpet. Had to cut a slight angle on one corner for the mold of the bed. Next is the two 1/7 cross members, they fit perfect into two molded slots of the bed and you can see they keep the box frame from sliding forwards or backwards.last is the box frame made of 1x lumber and 1/4” plywood for the bottom. Sized to fit perfectly between the wheel wells so it won’t slide left or right.and this is all the pieces, took literally less than 10 minutes to disassemble by myself including pulling all the stuff I had loaded on the platform. Every piece of wood I coated with two layers of linseed oil for water protection. Even though it’s under the shell, it still get a little water every now and then.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the links. I'm watching them now.

 

Nice and simple build, my man. I like it!

 

Nice work!

 

Thanks for the link! Super clean build you got there!

 

I like it! Simple and inexpensive. I recently sold all my Tepui stuff and want something to crash in on quick trips. Sleeping diagonally might be ok once in a while but eventually I’d like to sell my Snug Top and just get a Super Pacific or similar.

 

Loving everyone's drawer system builds. I recently finished my build and would love to get feedback or improvement ideas.
