Am soliciting ideas to make a floor for my 8ft bed Dodge Ram<BR>that will slide easily.<BR>Have checked out drawer rails but none are long enough and the saleman<BR>states wouldn't handle the weight. There is a kit out there for around $600<BR>but think it can be made much cheaper. Already have a 3/4" piece of ply.<BR>Just need to figure out a way to be able to slide it in and out of the bed<BR>without getting a hernia, or using such force that the planes dislodge when<BR>putting back in.<BR>Some thoughts I had are using 2x4's on the side and making a slide channel<BR>using 1x1's and lubricating with some grease, lithium ect. Don't know how<BR>that would work.<BR>Another thought is to try to find some sort of premade "track" that can be<BR>screwed to the 2x4
and the ply using a series of bearings/wheels to slide<BR>easily.<BR>The next question is do I put a movable leg on the end so when pulling out<BR>it drops down and supports the floor, or just have a dead line on the floor<BR>and never pull it out past that point?<BR>Thanx in advance and any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.<BR>Ed<BR><BR>[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]<BR><BR>[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]<BR><BR></div></DIV><!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStart|**|-~--><SPAN style="COLOR: white" width="1">__._,_.___</SPAN> <!-- Start the section with Message In topic --> <DIV id=ygrp-actbar><SPAN class=left><A href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mini-iac/message/104495;_ylc=X3oDMTM3a2lxN2xwBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzMxOTIzMwRncnBzcElkAzE3MDUwNjU2MTgEbXNnSWQDMTA0NDk4BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTE3NzU1OTMwNAR0cGNJZAMxMDQ0OTU-">Messages in this topic </A>(<SPAN class=bld>0</SPAN>) </SPAN><A
