What I am after is a compartment in the bedsides. We are talking a stock bed, nothing like a drop in bed here. I realize that there is not too much space there but I figure it would be enough for stuff like bungees, straps, and such.
I have seen a few of these on the road. One type I see looks almost factory, with the compartments being very clean and blending into the sides. I recently saw an older truck parked with some compartments which looked like they were just cut into the sides.
Has anyone done this here or know anyone who has? I was thinking of 3 compartments on each side-one in front of wheel, one behind, and a skinny one on top. I am concerned about losing strength of the bed. Any tips or ideas? Or just go with a cutoff wheel and find some suitable hinges/locks?
Thanks
