Nice. I’m sure it makes a big difference, keeping stuff out of the way.
Though I don’t know that I’d trust those nails/screws to handle the dynamic loads of a vehicle. I’d want the vertical supports directly under loads, so the fasteners just keep things together.
A friend made a ply tray on small ball rollers for stuff up in the front. He puts toolboxes on it, the tray has a lip so they stay in place, and he uses a piece of cord to pull it out. Ingenious. But I really like those drawers of yours.
It’s exactly the lenght of the bed so once the tailgate is closed it doesn’t get to move front or back. The horizontal 2x4’s have big bolts screwed into them thru 3 tie-down points on the side of the bed. Only screws holding any weight here are the ones going thru the vertical supports into the ends of the 2x4’s. As long as I don’t roll the truck I’m relatively confident that it’ll stay in place just fine.
