How Do You Make a Truck Bed Roll Out?

One of the most useful accessories for anyone who owns a truck is a roll-out bed. This type of bed allows you to quickly and easily load and unload items, and can make your truck much more versatile. Installing a roll-out bed is not as difficult as it may seem, and with a few simple tools, you can have your own in no time.

Gather Your Tools

The first step to making a truck bed roll out is to gather the tools you will need. You will need an electric drill, screws, nuts and bolts, and a ratchet set. You will also need some wood or metal to construct the frame of the bed.

Construct the Frame

Once you have all of your supplies gathered together, you can begin constructing the frame for your truck bed. Start by measuring the area that you want to place the bed in.

Once you have done this, cut your wood or metal to size. Once all of your pieces are cut, use your drill to attach them together using nuts, bolts and screws.

Attach Rollers

Next, attach some rollers on each side of the frame that you constructed. This will allow the bed to move smoothly when it is rolled out. Make sure that the rollers are securely attached so that they don’t come loose while the bed is in use.

Attach Bed

Finally, attach your actual truck bed onto the frame that you constructed earlier. This should be done using screws or nails and should be securely attached so that it does not come loose while rolling out.

Conclusion

Making a truck bed roll out may seem like a daunting task but with some basic tools and supplies it can be done in no time at all! All it takes is some careful planning, gathering materials and following these steps for success! With this knowledge in hand anyone can turn their truck into something truly special!
