Re: The 'Burban Chronicles.....

Looking good! I like working trucks too.
I've been toying with the idea of putting a short bed cargo slide in mine. It should make getting engines in and out of the back easier. My concerns are the loss of cargo space vertically but, mostly I have a feeling it would add a bunch of noise inside the cab.
If I was smarter I would have put one in before I replaced the wood flooring and if I hated it there would be a bunch of unused holes in the old floor not the new floor.

Thanks!

I’ve entertained the idea of a bed slide as well. I had not considered the potential from additional noise. I could see that. The loss of height is a very valid point. I’ll probably just stick to putting down cardboard or plywood on my carpet to help things slide or for protection.
