I worked with the rear build and there were parts i likes and parts I didn’t. What I liked was structure that kept everything from being bounced around and loose during travel. What I didn’t like was it just became a second place for all of our car camping gear. We used the same bins etc that we always used. So every time we set up camp the truck puked all of our stuff. Our clothes and beading were in the cab. So it went some like pop flippac, unload bed of truck 60%, get stuff from cab, make bed and set up rear of truck.
This was way more effort than it needed to be and reduced the easy quotient that the flippac provides. I wanted to keep the security and functionality, but I needed to make it easier.
Hence build 2.
Swap out most of the bins for permanent storage. This led to replacing some of the drivers side with drawers. Make it comfortable to walk on, my wife really didn’t like the feel of the truck bed under foot. So put a base layer down. Keep fridge accessible from inside and outside, so the slide stayed on the passenger side, but with no more raised floor (to continue to accommodate the drawers and keep overall height of the fridge down and keep a reasonable center isle, custom fridge slide required. I really wanted this to be good so I went back and revisited almost every decision. Too many projects get finished 1 hour after I was supposed to leave. Hence a ton of the frustration with my last build. It just wasn’t right and every bad piece of craftsmanship (couldn’t even call it that) made me not like the back.
I started with the drawers and base. I took my time and did it so I’d be happy. This meant I went on a few trips with only half the rear built out, but that’s ok.
First figure out drawer size and build the frame. HD slides and 30mm aluminum t-slot 80/20 insert brand here.
Made my own drawer slide brackets
Used rivnuts to attach the slides to the bracket and t nuts to attach to the 3030.
Then I decided to make my own drawer boxes. If you count time it’s not cheaper than buying, but I had fun and learned a few things. First no matter how cheap your table saw (mines a free hand me down ex k-mart one) take the time to square it up, true it up and align the blade with the guides.
I found an app to help with cut layout. Cutlister awesome!!
Ripped the drawer sides
Decided to do finger joints
Then used some compression latches for a secure closure
after test fit, and marking the holes, remove (again) drill holes add t-nuts, paint and sealed the floor and reinstall.
You may notice there are latches in the tops. I wanted access to the contents of the top drawer from inside. (Specifically the coffee supplies). I really didn’t know how I was going to cover the side. Since I had to go in a friends birthday trip down the Mojave road (rough right?) it stayed like this for a while.
