I'm building a show truck, and i'll have to make changes to this design to make room for my sub box/fuel cell/where to put the gas line hose to fill it up/4 link/bag over axle/8 gallon air tank/air zenith compressor, i wasn't sure if anyone's just seen some badass bed where i could get an idea from. I need a new project for myself to do at school on my truck cause they only allow us to do certain things.

I didn't have to go to work today so I took a few measurements on my truck and designed this:

You can see there's quite a wide area open in the back here, that's to keep room for my sub box that you can view how i'm doing that in my thread in the "Audio / Interior 85 - 93" titled: Sub Box Standard Cab Porting Idea

sketches look cool.

Why not just do the standard blow threw?

You are going to need to make some bed mounts for the front of the bed.

When most people do boxes in the bed, they just cut the hole out of the back of the cab and the front of the bed. Then use a seal around the opening that flexes. Like the seal that you would use around a camper shell opening to the back window.
