Drawers in the back of pickups

[Spud]

I've recently upgraded my pickup, and I'm trying to come up with a way of keeping the inevitable collection of rammal a bit more organized

Pretty much every option is a blinking fortune!
It currently has a roll top, which is ok, it's predecessor had a mountain top lid, which was arguably better at keeping things dry, and would take someone standing on it, but no good if you wanted to carry anything tall.
I don't want a canopy.
A full width drawer seems to steal a lot of space, particularly without a canopy, which has led me towards a half width but full length drawer to keep the small stuff together and accessible.
Still £600 like.
Anybody got one? Better ideas?
Thank you

Full length drawers will be on the floor by the time you get them pulled out. Half length ones, even if home made will let you get at more stuff easier.
The front half can be under a hinged lid for big stuff. Once every 3 years you might be able to get at it.

Vans are useless at everything except carrying stuff on roads, no good to me

I'm trying to make stuff easier to get at not harder!

That'd be a nice trip down nostalgia lane for 20mins Bob, but tbh I'd rather use my Navara for everyday transport

They do make 4wd vans, I think if I could afford it, I would get a Land cruiser SWB commercial, but it looks like I will be sticking with .Y trusty Navara till it drops

i have 4 60litre storage boxes in mine, easy to get to, slide out and my main tool box at the back bolted down so when the tailgates dropped its all to hand.

Would need a lot of tools to keep all these old Fergies going!

What make is it?

I can't remember exactly where I saw it or who it was made by, possibly Van vault, but the storage container sat at the front of the open pickup tray right behind the cab. It was full width, and was basically a tub that hung off the sides of the tray. The tub was divided into 2 parts each with a separate hinged lid that you accessed from standing beside the truck and leaning over the side of the truck.
I thought they were a good compromise on storage and leaving some load bed spare.
You could always make it yourself etc if you thought that an official manufacturer was a bit pricy.
I hope my explanation makes sense!

Just read it’s a navara
I made a shelf with sides at front and made a shelf on side to hold mf type tool boxes
Both fastened onto the alloy rails on navara

Ditch the factory bed, put a dropside on it and bolt a box in the back. The draws will get full of dust and sh!t

I’ve mentioned this before, I have 2 off cuts of rubber conveyor belt (needs to be fairly sturdy) and just pull them out to get the stuff at the front, then push them back in when done.

i though this was going to be about bald rick's exploits.

I would love to get a drop side made for mine, I would put the secure boxes below the flat bed, in front of and behind the back wheels.

I've got some 'direct 4x4' drawers and sliding top in mine. bought secondhand. make the truck a lot more useable. I do have a canopy over the top though

 

[bog hopper]

Srewfix do a van vault sliding drawers not to expensive if you get a half width one you can still use the other half

 

[Fergieman]

How much stuff you wanting to carry? A pair of these big enough?
