I am a new owner of an old wildernest, and am going to make a cabinet/drawer system in the bed of my pickup. I plan to have the drawer be the full length of the bed (6ft) and half of the width (2.5ft). There will be 2 drawers open along the length of the bed so I can access it after dropping the tailgate, and a few that open widthwise so I can access them while sitting inside.
My question to you all is: Is it lighter to make the structure out of sheet metal or birch? I'm not sure of the gauge of sheet metal I'd need for stability, but birch I'd probably go with 3/4".
Thoughts?
