How to: Build Truck Bed Drawer System // DIY // CAMPING // HOMEMADE

- In this video, I have started a new DIY project to provide more versatility for my fishing/camping adventures. Able to sleep anywhere is a game changer! I have built drawers for storage. No space wasted. I have gotten ideas from number of videos so wanted to give myself a go. Finishing this project on a low budget was my ultimate goal. If you have some plywood kicking around somewhere, It ll cost you less. With limited tools I had, I managed to make it look presentable lol. I hope this gives someone motivation to do it if you were thinking about it. With little experience with carpentry, it took me longer but this simple truck drawer will get the job done.
Let me know in the comments for more ideas!
Tools:
-Drill
-Skill Saw
-Chop Saw
-Kreg Hole Jig
-Air Compressor
-Stapler
Material:
-Two 1/2 Plywood
-One 3/4 Plywood
-Three 1x10x10 Pine
-Five 1x8x6 Pine
-3/4 and 1inch Screws
-Heavy Duty Draw Handles
-Automotive Carpet
-Drawer Mat
-Wood Glue

I have built these, this is a great compromise between cheap, yet fully functional and easy to build, almost no Ripping plywood using the 1x material.
I have watched lots of videos getting ideas for my build also. I like this one because it's simplistic and cheap. Some guys go to hard amd instal door track and hidden latches and it just isn't what I'm after. They spend as much money as a decked system would cost and it's still just wood.
You’ve just saved me the best part of 200GBP with that HDPE slider idea. I was going to use 60” drawer sliders, but man they’re expensive. About £100/pair here in the UK. I don’t need the weight capacity, I just needed the length. And this solves this problem. Thanks dude!
I’m glad it helped you :) Goodluck on your build!
@@Go2fishingbcWhat thickness of plywood did you use?
this man loves his pocket jig!
I have been searching for the best how-to diy bed drawer system build, found it! Perfectly filmed and built, thank you! 👍🏽
Excellent job. I’m going to re-do my drawer and bed system after watching this. Thanks.
Thank you! Hope it turns out well :)
Thanks. Hope so too.
Great job young man. Man, the years ahead are going to be full of creations by you.
Thank you! It means a lot
@@Go2fishingbcAre you using 1/2 ply?
@gregflores8959 I believe it was 3/4
That would be great for fall salmon fishing season! Great build 👍🏼
Thanks
Great! I am building a platform for my truck too. I am buying a Kodiak truck tent for my Nissan Frontier. No more boring weekends, I’m hitting the road. Nice job.
YOU ALL DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON THE DRAWERS AND SLEEP SYSTEM. THANKS FOR SHARING. HAVE FUN CAMPING AND FISHING, MY FRIEND!
Best one I’ve seen been researching to redo mine
Thank you :)
I have done something similar for my Tacoma. There is a built in ledge in the box as a ledger. Also, put underlay under your carpet, your knees will that you.
dollar tree cutting boards as glides is genius, i want drawers in my build but metal slides are so expensive
Very nicely done. Thaks for sharing. Might be good to add some tie down provisions to the top and perhaps a latch to keep the drawer from sliding open and closed when braking. Also, perhaps a stop so the drawers to limit the travel of the drawers, like a dresser drawer. Again, thanks for inspiring me. I was going to buy a pre-made system ($$$) but I think I'll make mine custom.
Thanks for checking it out! The tailgate actually hold the drawer and the weight of the stuff in it. It can definitely have more features. Good luck!
Your cutting board idea just blew my mind! I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out an alternative to sliding rails or UHMW (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) since it's so expensive for what it is.
I’m glad the video gave you ideas and helped! Yes those railing are crazy expensive. Good luck with your build!
Really love the tight fit of the cubby access.
Loving the Chinese safety boots! 😂
😂😂
Easiest I’ve seen done so far. Good job!!
Glad you found it useful! Thanks!
Great job, and thanks for documenting it! I've been planning something almost exactly the same for my Taco, and it was nice to see it in the same truck. I originally planned to use heavy-duty drawer guides but found that they're heavy (60lbs a pair for quality ones) and expensive. Great tip on the cutting boards; much cheaper than HDPE! It was also great to see that you used dimensional lumber for almost everything but for the top and bottom of the box. I wanted to avoid as much ripping down of 4x8' sheets as possible while still lining up with the wheel wells and ledge. One question-do you feel like 1/2" ply for the top of the box would be sufficient to hold two adults without bowing? I used 3/4" ply for another build in a van and have the feeling that 1/2" would've been plenty. Just trying to cut weight wherever I can.
A great job and excellent video! You have motivated me enough to do the same job for my 4WD. Thanks for sharing….cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍
Glad I could help. Goodluck!
Looks good ,simple got some ideas for my Tundra ,thanks for sharing
No problem 👍
A lot of great ideas. Great setup
This is the best one I’ve seen to date. I will be getting to work on mine shortly.
Thanks! Good luck 🤞
Looks good!
Great ideas all around! I Cait wait to get started
Great build, I'll be borrowing a few ideas for my own build!
Nice build, thanks for sharing it
Thanks!
Definitely using some of your ideas...!
Great work thank you for idea will build one
Nice work man
thanks for your information greetings from phoenix az
Thank you for checking in :)
Nice work!
Good job, you made it look easy
Thanks!
@@Go2fishingbc I'm going to watch again, I need to find the drill tool you used
@john-pauljones878 it’s called the Kreg jig. It an awesome tool!
Nice job👍🏻
Thanks ;)
Nice setup!
Thanks 🙏
How well did the cutting board material work? Was that the ONLY thing u used for the sliding of the drawers? What about keeping it pull out straight, and not being able to be pulled out all the way? Are those features nonexistent? If you did it all over again, is there anything that you would do differently? Thanks for sharing. Aloha
Hi, yes cutting board was only material used. And other drawer i didn’t use it. It seems like it’s much smoother and quieter on the one that didn’t use. Both pretty smooth. I can pull the drawers straight out no issues. If I do it again I wish I could just do the one side and leave one side open since I do camping alone most times. And design something where I could pull the whole setup easier. Not a big deal but something to improve on. Good luck!
Dude your awesome gave me great idea thams for the video.
Solar panels on top of the canopy with a battery bank, inverter for plug-in power
Excellent build! 👍
Thanks!
Looks great man!
Ayyye that;s a sweet build, just in time for the ice fishing season too leggo. #G2F
Let go!
Well done. How much sag do they have when pulled all the way out? I was trying to figure out how to use them as a counter for cooking. Have you tried cooking on top of them? Im still in the day dream phase and getting ideas. Thanks!
Thank you! It doesn’t sag much but it’s definitely not level when it’s almost fully pulled out. I would get a support at the end like 2x4 wood. My advice would be make it as simple as possible for the whole build. Good luck 🤞:)
Love using sharp tools while wearing flip.flops ... ahhh youth!
Great job buddy
Thank you 🙏
Good job and nicely explained
Thank you!
looks great man
Great job, thank you.
Thank you 🙏
This is awesome... I am planning a trip to Montana and the system will be awesome. Is there a way to lock it?
I haven’t really tried to figure out to it. I heard the clamps work
Nice job, thanks
Thank you 😊
Awesome😎
Thanks 😎
Plastic boards great 👍
Thanks!
good job!
Thanks!
How do you like the sliding of the drawers using the cutting boards? What kind of plywood did you use for bottom of box and bottom drawers?
looks neat, is that a long bed or short bed tacoma?
Thanks. Long bed!
Do you have an updated review on this project? How it held up etc.
Who needs the damn F-Clamp when when our feet may do the trick 😅
Haha damn true!!
I suppose drawer sliders are not always required..with a heavy load could you put on casters with stoppers on back two?
I see why not but I went with what was easiest and simple
Gangster son !
How did you fasten it to the truck bed
11:19 in video
are you selling your prints for the drawer?
Hi, no I don’t have any prints. I just kind of drew it in my head and winged it lol
FYI... if you ever do another build like this, place your pocket holes on the outside. In this case, the holes cannot be seen as it is in the bed of your truck. There will be more strength in the joint that way. Good looking system you have there.
Don't forget to seal your wood
should have elevated it an inch from the bed liner to keep rain water from standing and soaking the wood and getting moldy
How deep are your drawers?
Can’t remember:(
WHY are all these how to videos being done in sandals! WTF. I like the design but good lord man.
lol
