Subject: [SA] Moving pickup floor

Hey everyone. Am soliciting ideas to make a floor for my 8ft bed Dodge Ram
that will slide easily.
Have checked out drawer rails but none are long enough and the saleman
states wouldn't handle the weight. There is a kit out there for around $600
but think it can be made much cheaper. Already have a 3/4" piece of ply.
Just need to figure out a way to be able to slide it in and out of the bed
without getting a hernia, or using such force that the planes dislodge when
putting back in.
Some thoughts I had are using 2x4's on the side and making a slide channel
using 1x1's and lubricating with some grease, lithium ect. Don't know how
that would work.
Another thought is to try to find some sort of premade "track" that can be
screwed to the 2x4 and the ply using a series of bearings/wheels to slide
easily.
The next question is do I put a movable leg on the end so when pulling out
it drops down and supports the floor, or just have a dead line on the floor
and never pull it out past that point?
Thanx in advance and any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Ed
