Step 1: Build the frame

· cut your masonite and 3/4 plywood about a half inch short of the length of the inside of the bed.

· cut 2 - 1x12 and the 2x12 to 3/4 inch less then your plywood.

· cut 1 - 1x12 to 4'

· glue and screw them together like the photo. the board on the face was temporary.

· slide it in the bed and center it.

· if you have a bed liner, mark the ribs at each corner. then drill the 4 corners and insert a 1/2" bolt.

· the frame will not be able to slide left or right. [as seen in photo]

· build your drawers 2 1/4" less than the openings.

· cut a 1/4 inch grove at the bottom of the 1x10" and glue the plywood to slide in for the drawer bottoms.

· bolt the square tubing to the side of the drawers. about a 1/4 of the way up from the bottom. making sure that the drawer will be about 3/8" above the masonite.

· then bolt the bearings on top and bottom.

· there should be at least a 1/8" gap between the top bearing and square tubing when drawer is closed.

Step 2: The top

· screw the plywood on the top of the frame and slide in the truck.

· then take the 1x10 and trace the profile of your bed sides.

· cut out and connect with piano hinge. install pulls to open.

· i put braces down to hold weight.

· you can add level holders and such if your using tools.

· then paint if you want it painted,

Step 3: Lights

· i then siliconed a 16' of - 5630 waterproof flexible LEDS -

· and a switch to turn them on and off

· this is very bright when dark out.
