Since the Covid lockdown kicked in, I've been working on a fridge and drawer slide for the 100. I've had a drawer system before, in my 80. I knew what I liked about it and what I didn't like about it. I'm pretty happy with this one, I think. I had a Dissent rear bumper with swingout on the last truck, so easy access required keeping it in the second row. No swingout on this truck, so I moved it to the rear. I only wanted one drawer at least 8 inches deep and a fridge on a slide so we could reach in with the tailgate down. The fridge drawer is on a 28 inch locking slider and the drawer is on a 36 inch locking slider. All are heavyweight slides. Drawers and carcass are made from 1/2 inch baltic birch. Drawer bottom is 3/8 inch plywood, and fridge slider top is doubled 3/8 inch plywood. Most joints are blind rabbets, which took some learning on my part. All slides are attached with 1/4 inch tee nuts. I didn't think wood screws would be strong enough. I can install/remove it in approximately 15 minutes or so. Total weight is 93 pounds (without the fridge and cargo deck). Fridge is secured with L-track. I'll be adding 1/4 inch ply dividers to the drawer and a handle. I'll have to wait until it cools off to seal it. Haven't decide on polyurethane or the gallon can of black monstaliner I've been holding onto for over a year.
