If you just want a pull-out for sundry camping gear, I'd either make or buy a tray and attach inline skate wheels to the tray. Fancier yet, is a channel frame to accommodate the skate wheels//bearings and bolts to the truck bed. That would be similar to the tray linked to earlier.

If you want to build your own...I saw this program awhile back on DIY Network channel. This is the youtube link:

Several truck bed products available. ALL at least 2x more than the Mor-Ryde tray.
Mor-Ryde has an 800# capacity .....others start at 1000#

If I didn't go with Mor-Ryde (and can't see why not) I would lean towards Highway Products.
I have a couple of their truck bed tool boxes...great product very well built.

But dang that Mor-Ryde should work and pricing is right.

I have two big drawers in my pickup bed for tools and supplies I use at work. I made a plywood carcass with center divider for the two drawers (also made with plywood). The carcass extends from the front of the bed to 8" from the tailgate. It is full width. Drawer height is 12". Drawer length is 6'. Drawer width is about 24". Both drawers have a cabinet pull on the drawer front.

About every two or three years, I need to apply some wax onto the bottom of the drawers so they slide nicely. Actually, I don't want them to slide freely since they would be sliding in and out. Even with a few hundred pounds in each drawer, they are easy to slide out and in. Total weight of the carcass and drawers empty is around 200 lbs. The drawer that has fasteners and hardware, chains and hitches, and misc. power tools in the three sections of the drawer weighs about 400 lbs. The other drawer weighs less, when full, about 200 lbs.

I have a cap for my truck, so it should be protected.
thanks
