Do any of you know if they make a BedSlide that doesn't waste the space next to the wheel well?

I know they make one that looks like Pic1, but it wastes the blue space. Has anyone seen one that looks like Pic2?

I have been looking at these for several years, nearly pulled the trigger on one a short time ago. I have never seen one that shape, but that is not to say you could not order the frame and build your own top that is the shape you want. I have a side woodworking business so I need the weight cap of the Extendo-bed, and I know they do not make one like you sketched. The Bedslide brand is a bit lower in height but the weight cap is also lower. I am considering a two level Extendo-bed so I can put sheet goods over the top of my tools and still be able to get at them.

I wonder if there is a how-to site that has some instructions. The BedSlide (brand) that I had on my Avalanche is certainly not something I could have created on my own. I wonder if I could modify the existing structure if I purchased a regular model. Interesting.

Most of the slides I have looked at are a frame with a pretty simple platform bolted to it. I am not positive about the Bedslide, but the Extendo-bed is just that, the only tough part is getting all the neat little edge and surface treatments that come on it. the bulk of it is just a plywood platform bolted to the frame. If you get the frame the platform itself should be pretty easy to modify. I was thinking about building a set of ply storage boxes to fit beside the Extendo bed to fit in the little odd shaped spaces that remain. I also know that the Extendo-bed allows for semi secure storage under the carriage mechanism. You could also build a set of little "wings" that attach to the slide that fit in those spaces - time to put the creative thinking hat on.

lmfao

 

I have only seen plain rectangular slides. The deck material is the biggest cost option. Some are cheap carpeted wood. Some are nice aluminum with T tracks for accessories and tie downs.

I like the concept and design, but that guy seems like an ***.
