Nice job. As you said, it’s a good combination of plain & fancy. I appreciate your explaining how to details (center punch, dry fit, how to get an accurate inside measurement). Some makers leave out these details leading to frustration for beginners. Including these details broadened knowledge of both beginner & intermediate makers. Thanks for sharing your idea. Your humble, straightforward presentation style is also much appreciated.

Awesome, thank you!

I'm glad you included the information about the height of the divider so you can haul lumber or other items without it interfering with the load. I wouldn't have thought about that until it was too late and would have had to go back and modify. Nice work. I like your style. If you are going to take the time to do something, make it right and make it look good!! Nice job. One option for width is to have a slotted system in the middle and to wing nut it in place when the width is completely extended. A little more work though and more parts also. I like the K.I.S.S. method anyway. Look forward to checking out more of your vids!

Thanks Mr. Cook. I appreciate your comments. Best to you, DFJ

Thanks ! Need to do something like this for my 2021 GMC Canyon. Can you follow up with a short video showing how you install the divider? You went into some detail on how that affected the design but would like to see the process.

Love the divider you’ve built. With similar chalkenges for install on my truck, I’m consifering same build with one mod; do a vertical cut right thru center of one 2x6, then hinge it at back, with slide latch on front for easy “fold” removal and placement at different locations across bed. Love this for sure!

Go for it! That sounds like a great enhancement. Let me know how it turns out. Best, DFJ

I like your idea. I was thinking could one use cargo ratcheting bars and attach them with rivets to the aluminum channel where they could placed anywhere in the truck bed. You have gave me the idea to try it.

I used old bed rail angles laying around. I also used 1/2 plywood exterior stained laying around. Once primed & painted, no one notices the age. Due to Texas Sun... a touch up paint helps it look fresh. Latched to original tie downs added. Truck is a 1970 F100.

I like your solution. A couple of years ago when I bought my truck, I was searching for an off-the-shelf bed divider, and I really couldn’t find anything that I liked, or that would work in the new, wider GM beds. I ended up building a cargo net out of half inch braided nylon rope, and 550 para cord. I put heavy duty carabiners on each end to attach onto the loops that were provided in my truck bed. Similar to your solution to hook cargo to your divider, I use carabiners along the length of the top rope to hook things to. It works extremely well, and is easy to get in and out if I’m hauling larger cargo. It works great for hauling fuel cans, groceries, luggage, etc.

Nice video and love the design and attention to detail. I was a little confused about the side channels and how the bed cover interfered with putting the divider in or taking it out. I would love to see a short clip to see how you place the divider into the bed or remove it when hauling larger items.

Mark, unfortunately, all extrusions like this aren't cheap if bought new. You can see if there is a MetalMart in your area, or there is Orange Aluminum in California - assuming you are in the U.S. Sometimes, you can be fortunate and find this in a recycling yard. I hope this helps! Best, DFJ

Harold, I hear you. The divider is installed into the pockets that are integrated into the side walls of the bed. These are part of the factory design and that is what I utilized to mount the unit in. I hope that helps! Best, DFJ
