Simple Truck Bed/Fridge Slide (like an actual slide)

[amcottin]

Not a dumb question, so I got flat head bolts that matched the holes on the track, they aren’t too big of a hole. Then the nuts and a big washer are under the bed. Rivnuts would mean you don’t have to have a nut and washer, but if you go the rivnut route make sure it has big flanges when it collapses so it grips securely

Great! I'll consider both. Thank you @PapaDave !

T nuts to anchor the front end. I glued them so they wouldn’t unscrew View attachment 114625

Can you tell me where you found these? Everywhere I look, they look at me like I have two heads, when I show them this pic.

Amazon will have them, McMaster, T Nutz or 8020.net. They aren’t something most box stores have

This maybe a dumb question or asked a lot, however, could you let me know what the white “costway” box is?

love the setup btw.

Got my 75, about to start on the tray.

The Costway portable water heater is like a Coleman Boss but a lot cheaper. Works great, comes with a shower head and pump

Finished product pictures?

I've been putting this project off for a while but without access to welding/riveting tools its gonna be tough

 

[Savin yours]

Sure, sorry about that! I ended up mounting it on the passenger side.

Sweet!! Looks like you went a little simpler than @PapaDave

How did you join the angle iron?

 

[Savin yours]

I welded it. 1” square tubing for the two ends, and 1”x1” angle for the sides. Found some thin aluminum sheets and riveted them in. Then I painted with a bed liner rattle can.

 

[tacopartyof4]

You guys and your fancy welding.

I need to make better friends

Looks great!

@PapaDave do you have a link for where you purchased the c channel for your fridge slide? When I search for it, it doesn't have that groove/lip for the t-nut to slide into.

This will get you to the right type of product that you can pick from
