Isn't that what the indentations on the sides of the box and the wheel well are for? If you cut 3 2Xs to length and set them sideways in those indents it'll accomplish the same thing if I'm not mistaken. That's how my truck is anyway. Either way, your method works too so good job. I like how you notched it to make it easy to break down and store in a minimal stack.

Yes that is an option, however the project I built this for to get plywood I needed 7 sheets of 3/4 ply which is darn near 700 pounds…I didn’t trust that method enough to hold the weight…especially at $90 a sheet these days. I also used it for 10 foot Sheetrock and I just slid it out onto the tailgate a little to get more support for the ends hanging out the back…couldn’t do that with the 3 2x setup. Thanks for watching!

Watching him do this as I literally stare at the slots chevy put in the bed for you to insert boards for this EXACT purpose.... LMAO

Using the slots in the bed can I slide the entire support system back onto the tailgate and better support 10 foot sheets of Sheetrock or other scenarios where that would provide better support? To each their own. 👍🏻

Nice

Thanks!

Thought you was going to play tic-tac-toe lol

You already have premade notches in the bed in each corner for boards to slide into that do the same thing but easier and less wood

Lol, poor Dan... these people are dense. Clearly the rack is for hauling plywood, not that it's made of plywood.

Yeah…I thought it was an easy concept to understand… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Will there be plywood placed on top of the 2x’s?

This is for hauling plywood sheets. The space between the wheel wells is only 44 inches so this raises it up just above the wheel wells so the sheets can lay flat. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻

I dont understand the concept it's still lower then the wheel wheel wells?

@DanPrudlow

It is just a bit taller than the wheel wells so a 4 ft wide sheet will fit laying flat.

plywood?

At the time I built the rack it was still at the lumber store…I needed the rack to be able to pick it up.

He was waiting for lumber prices to come down a little, I think he's got two sheets now.

I actually got 7 sheets of 3/4 for a big cabinet build…and this setup worked like a champ. Also got 10ft sheets of drywall and pulled it out onto the bed a bit to support them.

Except it isn’t plywood?

It’s for hauling plywood and other sheet goods. I’ll change the title I guess…
