The drawer sides each have a 1×1 square steel tubing attached to both sides. So three days later my package of 200 arrived at my door step.

I found them on eBay for about 40 cents each with free shipping, if ordered in lots of 100. Some places want $4 to $6 each for these. Or about 7/8 inch OD X 5/16 ID hole X 5/16 wide. These will be skate board bearings part number 608-2RS. Roller bearing drawer guides were then installed on the inside of both sides of the box, as well as both sides of the vertical center divider. The remainder of the wood construction will be complete inside the The excess threaded bolt lengths were ground flush with the top of the nuts. The anchor bolts then have fender washers and nylon lock nuts spun down against the plywood deck. Once the bottom panel was cut to lighten the load, the bulkhead panel attached, and the vertical divider screwed into place, this assembly was re-inserted in the van. The end cap with drawer openings was then built and attached.Īll panels are being screwed together in case this ever needs to be removed from the vehicle. To the bulkhead and the floor to create (2) drawer chambers about 22-23 inches Vertical center divider was run perpendicular to the bulkhead panel and attached The cross bulkhead panel was installed to create the water tank chamber. The assembly was pulled back out of the van. Out to reduce weight, but retain strength and leave material to attach all 4 dead areas of the wood plywood decking were cut The shown assembly was then marked to saw cut out some sections of the bottomĭeck to lighten the load too. Once I have the water tank positioned, the cross bulkhead panel, andĪttaching stringer locations were marked. I also figured in a bulkhead and bottom stringer for that, using space in the water tank compartment.īe sure to figure the passenger side clearance so that the vehicle jack compartment can be accessed, opened, and you can get the jack out.Īt this point the assembly is about too bulky and heavy to handle by one

I did leave enough room to install the 12V RV water pump, and a full size AGM Battery. That way it took up less space I wanted for drawers. Though the tank show here is flat on the wide side, it actually was installed with one of the narrow sides face down on the plywood. (2nd & 3rd row rear seat have now been removed). It was originally mounted vertical, the long way, behind the 3rd row seat. The tank and pump were already mounted in the van previously. Next came positioning layout of water storage tank and RV On demand water pump. This secures the box to the floor quite well.Įasy means of removal later, if ever that is needed. A second fender washer and nut gets spun down on top of the drawer box bottom panel.

to do the lining up, and dropping over the vertical bolts. With the bolts secured and rigid in place, it made dragging the drawer box assembly a lot easier…. I could have left the eye bolts floating, and eliminated that set of washer and nut. I did not want them sticking up any higher than necessary. This washer and nut will be recessed in the ¾ inch drawer box bottom panel. After that these worked out with one washer as originally planned. I ended up pulling all the eye bolts out and used a thread cutting die to cut threads further down the shaft. It took 3 fender washers to make up the difference. The threads of the eye bolts did not go far enough on the bolt shaft. This installation allows the drawer box to be removed and the van returned to original, without drilling any holes in the floor of the van. These floating pieces of strut were shimmed to level using nuts and washers underneath. Two floating pieces of strut were attached to the underside of the far ends of the bottom plywood, at areas that have no seat floor connectors. This provided a means to secure the wood to the van floor, and allows leveling with carpet shims out at the ends of the strut. Electrical strut was attached to the van floor using eye bolts and the original seat latching pins that are recessed into the floor, of a Chevy Passenger van. The project was started by creating some anchors for the wood deck.

Up truck with a camper shell covering the truck bed, or various other SUV’s. With some minor modifications this drawer system could be adapted for a pick Provide a comfortable sleeping area over 6 feet long and about 5 feet wide. Lastly the deck over the drawer space will be fitted with foam cushions and This willīe wired and plumbed to a 12 volt RV water pump to provide pressurized water. The drawers are to ride on roller bearings to support lots of weight and for ease of use.Īdditionally there will be a 30 gallon fresh water storage tank. The objectives of this project were the following.įirst create Sliding Drawer storage in the rear of a Chevy Express van.
