Tool Storage In A Van

woodbutchr

What are some of y'alls storage / tricks in a van?
One of mine is to use turn buttons to hang my 2" & 4" levels on the front of the shelf's. Of course bungie cords are a must, I also have outdoor carpet on the floor, alot easier on the knee's.

Okay.
I built 2 boxes 48X20X26H
with hinged lids and bolted them
to the floor one at the front
one at the back.
I keep hardware in one
and small tools in the other
so that stuff isn't rolling around.
Then I can keep tool boxes, compressor,
miter box, etc in the "saddle" between.
When I haul lumber, doors, plywood,
it lays across the boxes and my tools
don't have to be "structural".

I picked up a dented 3 drawer metal cabinet (garage tool type) and mounted it under the first shelf-fit nearly perfectly. The drawers face toward the back of the truck (I have a lift door)-it's great for putting the many handtools. Right above that are some of those cheapo stackable plastic bins-they're labled-the one that holds the drill bits and pencils gets used all the time!

No tricks realy. I have a 14' box van (97 GMC 3500) Shelf system on each side. 4 shelves high, at about 8' long with a 4.5' space between for material. 12' and 6' step ladders hang on the wall. OHHH, actually I do have a pretty good trick I did. My sliding compound miter saw has a "table" bolted to it (part of the "track horse" system) so I installed 2 chrome hood pins to one of the top shelves, drilled the appropriate size holes in the "table" and there you have it mitersaw secured.
