unfortunately, no. The plans were a bunch of pencil marks on scratch paper, and I am not sure where that is. The design is a simple box that fit snuggly between the wheel wells and is the same height, with two drawers on heavy duty slides. then, a top panel was cut to fit the contours of the rear cargo area and mounted to the box to make the level loading platform. Hatch doors were then cut into the top for access from above. To avoid the drawers from over extending too far beyond the tailgate and overloading the slides, there is a seperate 8"-10" compartment in the box just behind the rear seats accessible from the top via a 60/40 split. The drawers also have modular dividers so I can adjust the size of the drawer compartments.

...did that make any sense?
