We have a BT50, and would love to have 2 drawers in the back of the ute (covered in), prices we have been given seem lots dearer that we thought, does anybody have any ideas ???

Or if you are handy with some tools. Do it Yourself.
I built my own in the rear of my BT50 Dual cab at a total cost of $600 using aluminium and structual plywood.
Not rocket science but a lot of fun in both the planning and building. Plus mucho satisfaction.

If you are reasonably handy with tools have a look at these Youtube Videos on building your own with Aluminum.
I made mine for the Isuzu Dmax they came out just A1. Much better than I expected.
Cost me t $700 all up with carpet as well.
I only made my drawers one metre long, leaving room for storage lockers at the rear of the drawers and also down both sides. The rear storage lockers are for long term spares and stuff not used very often.
Used a cheap drop saw with a good aluminium cutting blade to accurately cut the 1" RHS Ally Tube (it is imperial tube and joiners) Get the RHS square tube from a Aluminium Stock Holder in 6 metre lengths as it is cheaper. I was able to cut all the Ally sheet at my work on the Guillotine. But I would think you could get it all cut for a $100 if you gave the stockholder a cutting list.
If you don't want to DIY then go and see your local sheetmetal worker I had this box with a slide out shelf made including the door and lock for under $300..
Thank you to everyone who has given fantastic suggestions, I am on the road at the moment, but for that amount of saving, will find somewhere to hide up until I have completed the task, again, thank you very much, wandwill

If you are looking for a cheaper set up have a look here; www.drifta.com.au/OtherDRIFTAProducts4WD.php
This bloke is reputed to also do a top quality job but for us was too far away.
