Have this hair brained scheme that I might make some drawers and a fridge slide for the back of my twin cab. Where do I get the runners? Are proprietary systems nearly $2k for a good reason? Surely some amongst us has gone down this path? Please enlighten me with your stories before I stumble in blindly......

Don't want to end up doing this.

don't use draw sliders, just use little sealed bearings held in place with set bolts. They are more compact and stronger. Where are you?
I picked one up at a little auction in Warwick and was amased at how easy they would be to make.

Tks Finger,
I am in Brissy on the southside so I could get bearings anywhere... what a brilliant idea. Thanks again.

hey GBC, I am on the southside also. Send me a PM with your phone number and I'll call reguarding the draw. If you aren't in a serious hurry I can get Dad's draw (I gave it to him and no pun intended there) so you can copy it. Simple as ;)
All the best.
