Slide-out Truck Storage Box - How to Make a Vehicle Storage System

Today I'm building a slide-out truck storage box for the area under the rear seat of my truck (2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500). In the video I'll show how I built the framework to fit in the under seat space, installed drawer slides, added handles and locking hardware, trimmed with aluminum, and tour what I will be storing in the box for general and emergency vehicle use.
And while I built this storage system for a truck, the general techniques can be applied to any vehicle. A little organization will not only keep your vehicle more tidy, but also enable you to keep some road side emergency supplies available in the event that you need them!
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!

@michaelroberson2546 3 года назад

I used to attend several conferences each year for work and at each one I would get a soft-sided 'briefcase'. I had about 10 or so of these and used some of them to store 'necessaries' for all our cars. Basic first aid, fuses for each car, multi-screwdriver, pliers, adjustable wrench, small knife, paracord, jumper cables, zip ties, small can WD40, gorilla tape, old bathroom rug for putting on ground and a few other things. Nothing really cost that much except I did get higher grade jumper cables. The bags fit nicely in the trunk and because they were soft-sided, they didn't roll or slide at all and were very portable. There were some other small things but I always felt that no matter what might happen, there was something that could help.

@homesteadonomics 3 года назад

I know those type of cases you’re talking about. I think you used them perfectly too! And out of all of your list...which is awesome... the bath mat is soo genius! I hadn’t even thought about it but sure makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the idea Michael!

@PabloEskimofo Год назад

I have a feeling you made this because, like myself, you found it expensive to buy under seat storage. It seems whenever we can build something it’s cheaper, far more heavy duty, and meets our needs with little to no wasted space. Great build! You’ve successfully inspired me to build one myself

@sdbigguy 3 года назад

This has got to be the best video you have ever made (in the last 30 days)! Great use of space. I was wondering if you considered pop rivets on the slide out drawers or would they not have been strong enough. Looking forward to what ever you do to the “new” truck. Let you wife know that your You Tube family would love to see a truck bed camper. Thanks for sharing!

@homesteadonomics 3 года назад

Haha.... I agree! Without a doubt the best in the last 30 days... and maybe worst too😂 As for pop rivets, I think they’d be plenty strong and lower profile too. But I don’t have the rivet setter... but perhaps it might be worth getting one soon. Wouldn’t be too hard to switch em out either. And the truck camper.... that one excites me a lot!!! But my wife says I’ve got a lot of things that need to get checked off the TO DO list😬😂

You've inspired me to build a custom storage container under the back seat of my 2020 super cab F150. My doors are suicide and open all the way against the bed pf the truck so I'll be able to incorporate complete drawers on each side. I really like the thin aluminum sides and edging. I think I'll paint mine storage black so that it blends in. But the wood look is cool to.

Awesome! I think those fully opening doors will make for a way more convenient system with full slideouts😀👍

@patrickb6597 3 года назад

Nice Work! I think Trucks like this should have come with storage like this from the factory! Little Improvement idea: line the inside with some vehicle carpet and since the rest of the truck floor is a rubber, maybe put a coat of bedliner or something on the outside! It would make it look more stealth and with the carpet you wouldn't have to worry about something rattling around.

@homesteadonomics 3 года назад

Yeah I think the liner would be a nice touch. Or maybe a gray paint...haha.... I love my gray. As for the carpet... I do plan to put some of the foam liners in the bottom to help with rattling. 😀👍

@jimmyponds5504 3 года назад

@peterlisyak5396 3 года назад

With the draw slides, you might like to think about changing out the nuts for the slide to what are known as nutserts or rivnuts, you can then cut your machine screws down so they don't protrude from the nut giving you a minor amount more room and less chance of taking skin off when you reach in

@homesteadonomics 3 года назад

Those rivnuts are really cool! My neighbor has used them for his RV rebuild. But I am also thinking of rivets too👍😀
