Bench seat storage

Removed my rear seat last week and framed in a flat deck with five storage bins, hatch covers and a bull rail to keep things from sliding off.



Now I have a place to stow cargo straps, tow straps, jumper cables, a bottle jack, a come-along, a gallon of oil, fuel conditioner, CPS, serpentine belt, leather gloves, refrigiwear suit, cargo blanket, misc tools, plus a can of vienna sausage and pilot bread.

You won't need a bottle jack but a bottle of JACK! lol Looks good. What about a chunk of carpet held in place with velcro to hide from prying eyes?

Thanks. I think it worked out pretty well for a 3-hour project.



I was tempted to put a drawer on the drivers side as a place for wrenches and tools. The advantage being that you could access this storage even if the deck was loaded.
For what it is, I think it is a drastic improvement over packing stuff under the bench seat and having more stuff in loose milk crates.
