Have you built some storage boxes for your picup bed ?

I'm planning on starting to make some on mine tomorrow and wanted to see other ideas than my own.

The bed is shorter on my truck, but I could use some good ideas.

My idea is to make boxes on each side of the bed.. left and right. From the floor to the top of the bed, accessable from the top.
Then in the middle make a shorter one that would go between the two so it would be wide and short. Accessable from the rear so I could have some stuff ontop of it. .. luggage and so on. then I was thinking of putting some carpet on it / rubber mats. I plan to use crosswood. (don't know if that's a word)

I have also been thinking about putting ventilation on the bed, I have a tube already between the cab and the bed, so there is some air that goes through to warm the bed and remove the moisture.

If you have some pics / fresh ideas.. please let me know

i dont nkow about the whole air recircualtion thing unless you are living in the bed with the engine running? might want to try and get one of those heating/cooling systems they used to retrofit old hotroda and make that in the bed as a standalone unit....
