All,

If anyone out there has any ideas or plans on how to build hopefully a low cost slide out tool organizer for a Ford E-150 van it would be appreciated.
To build a cheap bed slide will never last do the weight and the impact of the tools on the slide as u drive. I must have built 7 of them from garage door track to rollers. The extend o bed with the twin I-beams is the only thing that seems to work. Plus I can pull it out the full 8'

I got my extend - o- bed for $500 off cl down by Detroit . They are around $2500 new. Weighs 550 pounds . If you check around u maybe able to find a used one cheap. Utube has some vids on people that made thier own. I want to add a chain drive operator to slide it in and out. Maybe a garage door operner so it will have the cordless remote. Push a button and watch it slide
