I was just curious about how some of you store your equipment on your pick-ups. I have a cap on the back of mine and it would have been difficult to mount metal boxes on the side walls of the bed. So…, I built in some storage bays, pull out drawers and small shelves. The “bays” are basically sectioned off areas that are covered with pieces of plywood. The drawers are removable so I can bring them on site, and the shelves hold coffee cans filled with nails, screws, etc.. I can still haul stuff because with all of the built in cabinetry I have basically raised the height of the bed. Sure, in doing so I lowered the headroom but now at least all of my tools and stuff doesn’t go sliding around the back. I do have to climb into the bed to access the front area but, I think its a small price to pay for good storage.
