This is just an updated version of a previous video that i posted that was kinda crappy. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching. Check out my updated video here! • Bedslide update1
Thanks for taking the time to post this video ( even if it is almost 7 years old)..it just solved a huge problem I was having trying to figure out how to make a slide out bed..your idea with the casters was brilliant!!
going to build something similar for my 80 series land cruiser - loved your design! Simple and functional. Only additional design constraint is to make it removable so I can still utilize the 3rd row seat when desired. Thanks for the video! It was definitely helpful.
Thank you, yeah looking at through the canopy it just looks like a raised bed. I will be adding a tailgate lock that will work with my alarm so it will be secure. Thanks for commenting, Cheers!
Like the lights and the air compressor idea. Actually liked the whole thing but the compressor adds extra convenience. What was our family full size Ford van has become my mobile work Mobile and part time kid carrier. Using your ideas will make it safer when I do haul kids for the church and such. I have 2 top boxes for roll around tool cabinets that I carry and are always a hassle. I'd like to put one on top of the other and have them on different drawer slides and add your air compressor idea to the mix with the bottom drawers as well for power tools. At present time I make my oldest son organize that mess every couple of weeks as some punishment. I know he would love this idea and will be glad to help me fit and build it up. I hope he is more organized as a worker than I am. Being around me gives him reason to do his stuff organized.
Very cool. I plan on having 2 drawer slides and a top bed slide also. I've also thought about framing over the top bed slide for extra storage for a ladder and other things. I love your idea with the light.
Hey Matt, that's a really cool and exclusive project, well done man! I mean exclusive because, people fabricate their own drawers but without a sliding "table" on top of it, like the way you made yours. Having that sliding table open a lot of possibilities, you can set your saw or whatever you need and use it like a work surface, etc. I'm going to "copy" your design and fabricate mine in a metal version, maybe steel or even aluminium, not sure yet. The empty spaces on both sides still good for some storage, such like small itens/tools. Well, that's it brother and thanks for sharing.
Awesome Ben, appreciate the comment. When I made the video there was very little out there in the way of bed slides. It still holds strong as a solid design in my opinion. Happy building!
I really like your design. I've been checking out youtube vids about this type of thing for a while and this is one of the best. thanks for sharing man!
This is a really nice build. I've been looking at a lot of styles trying to come up with a way to eliminate the need for the space for the rollers. I am leaning toward incorporating in-line skate rollers bolted inside the drawer side through the bottom allowing what ever distance needed to clear the floor. Is this doable?
Your drawers need to be 2” deeper for tool clearance & extra drawer storage. Not a fan of casters or steel rollers, I’ve seen 2 techniques Thant work well, 1) use cabinet ply & wax the edges, 2) use Teflon or plastic cutting boards cut in 1” strips, using no mechanical drawer slides...Murphy’s Law, what ever can happen will happen! If you have to unload a well packed truck bed to service/ change a stuck or broken roller or caster you will get wisdom, graahopper! :Good build! Shalom!
This is great, Getting the drawers and the sliding shelf. I really want to duplicate this. If you have more details on the making I would love it. Thanks
Hi Cole, thanks for your interest. I will be cleaning out my truck next week, and will do a tear down video with more details about how I built it, and what I would do differently. Happy building! Cheers!
+Alan Hughes Thanks Alan, I recently purchased a new truck with a shorter bed.... so I had to take about 6" off of the length. Still works great though! Cheers!
I would have used like 1'' 90deg aluminum rails on the side of the drawers. The plywood ones are starting to show signs of wear. It was all I had at the time, so I made do. Cheers!
It's a smaller 33% duty cycle compressor with a 3gallon holding tank. I use my brad nailer, tire inflation tools, and occasionally my spiker gun, and it works well with this setup.
+Angel Crespo Thanks man! I appreciate all the positive feed back I have got from this video. I have been meaning to make a more detailed video just haven't got around to it. Thanks for watching, Cheers!

Thanks mike, when I made this video there was not much on RUclips for bed slides.. much has changed since then. Thanks for the comments
Caster system is excellent

This is a bad ass tool bed you've made. I'm inspired now to do the same so I don't have to move my tools around in the back seat. Thanks for sharing!
Nice work. Everything has a place and is organized. Best part is it keeps your tools out of sight from thief.
Thank you, yeah looking at through the canopy it just looks like a raised bed. I will be adding a tailgate lock that will work with my alarm so it will be secure. Thanks for commenting, Cheers!
Love seeing people using different ideas to build stuff like this. Great job.
Thank you, I have recently added a few cosmetic features that I will show in an update video. Cheers!
This is the nicest Homemade bedslide that I have found on RUclips. I will be trying to duplicate this soon!
Thank you very much.
+ColeK Thanks Cole! It has been working great for 2 years now. Have fun building one, and I'm glad it gave you some ideas. Cheers!

Right on Phil, I'm glad you got some ideas from this video. Thanks for commenting, and happy building!

The Chezzer in fine form. Looks rad Matt K!
that would work great on my chevy van , but I would leave few inches on side to slide in drywall
Jorge duarte hey Jorge, thanks for watching! I hope you got some great ideas from it

Great ideas man! The casters were downright inspired.
Thank you
This is awesome!!!! You are some designer. I was going to buy the bed slide and the the Deck cargo drawers. But you nailed it here great job
Thanks rastarobb01, its was an exciting build, the way I built as I went. It turned out great. Thanks for commenting. Cheers
I really like your design. I've been checking out youtube vids about this type of thing for a while and this is one of the best. thanks for sharing man!
Hey thanks, its been a few months since I built it, and it still works great! Use it every day.
Really nice Matt!
robmacusa Thanks rob. I’m looking at building another one for my other truck.
That's pretty awesome! You've got to be proud of that!
Thanks man! ya for throwing it together on a weekend it has held out great. It has been a year now and still works as good as new!
Excellent work!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, It was a great upgrade to my truck!
Very nice man great job
This is a really nice build.
I've been looking at a lot of styles trying to come up with a way to eliminate the need for the space for the rollers. I am leaning toward incorporating in-line skate rollers bolted inside the drawer side through the bottom allowing what ever distance needed to clear the floor. Is this doable?
Larry Be thanks Larry, sound like your idea could work. I would suggest having a base plan... then plan on changing it 10-20 times during the build 😆
WOW! Fucking amazing job!
+Michael Stallings Thanks Michael. It was a fun project for me.
Really good job will try and build one.

Thanks for watching, this was a great build. It held up for 4 years with no issues, even after I sectioned off 12” to fit in my other truck.
This is great, Getting the drawers and the sliding shelf. I really want to duplicate this. If you have more details on the making I would love it.
Thanks
Hi Cole, thanks for your interest. I will be cleaning out my truck next week, and will do a tear down video with more details about how I built it, and what I would do differently. Happy building! Cheers!
Awesome design!
Thanks, still works great!

Thanks Jack! Happy building
Great video, thanks for sharing.

+Alan Hughes Thanks Alan, I recently purchased a new truck with a shorter bed.... so I had to take about 6" off of the length. Still works great though! Cheers!

i don't have pick up but i can use your video to make one for my bus thank you
That's great! happy building!
If you were to make this again, what would you do differently?
I would have used like 1'' 90deg aluminum rails on the side of the drawers. The plywood ones are starting to show signs of wear. It was all I had at the time, so I made do. Cheers!
Nice
Hey everyone, here is a little more detailed version of how I built it. I hope it helps, cheers ruclips.net/video/aUi0W2LyAa4/видео.html
beautiful if ya ever write plans I`ll buy em thanks.
Show me more on your charger? How you did it?
Thanks everyone
what size compressor are you running and what tools ?
It's a smaller 33% duty cycle compressor with a 3gallon holding tank. I use my brad nailer, tire inflation tools, and occasionally my spiker gun, and it works well with this setup.
Any concerns of theft. It seems like some low life could easily break in. Thanks.
Thankfully when I closed and locked my canopy, it prevented the tailgate from being opened.
Just a piece of foreskin :24 secs in
man that's sweet sorry but I am stealing your idea
+Angel Crespo Thanks man! I appreciate all the positive feed back I have got from this video. I have been meaning to make a more detailed video just haven't got around to it. Thanks for watching, Cheers!
can't hear a word ur saying.ur mumbling and talking low.
Yeah audio is crappy.... gotta turn up your speakers
