Sure
I used Vevor 500lb slides. I had a coupon. It was about $100 delivered. I got one locking and one free moving. https://m.vevor.com/drawer-slide-c_...l-bearing-full-extension-500lb-p_010873950531

I got aluminum from Fastmetals and also had a coupon. It was about $300 delivered
Two (2)- 3/8" X 4" FLATx 4’ (cross braces)
One (1) - 3" X 3" X 3/8" ANGLE x 4’ ( front of tray - at the cab)
Two (2) - 3" X 3" X 3/8" x 5’ (sides of the tray)
Two (2) - 4" X 4" X 3/8" ANGLE x 2’ (brackets to support the slides past the wheel well)
I cut the aluminum with my compound miter saw and hood wood blade.

I got a Rough Country rivnut kit from Amazon. I had a gift card but it costs $50

The deck is 3/4” plywood sheathing from Lowes. It was $35


the carpet is from Lowes. Can’t remember how much but I remember it being pretty cheap.

I used misc bolts and screws. After a lot of trial and error I found that 1/4” x 1” machine screws would work with countersunk heads in some of the tight spots in the side with the lock/latch. The rest have 1/4” x 1” grade 5 bolts and nuts.
The tray connection to the slides has 24 bolts/screws. 12 on each side. The slides are attached to the truck with 1/4” machine screws and rivnuts it in the wheel wells I went through and Put a nut on them. The deck is held down with 6 - 3/8” x 2” carriage bolts and nuts.
I’ll try to pull a video together on my YouTube but I’m too busy right now getting ready to go to Yellowstone in 12 days!!!
PM if you decide to go this route. I have some lessons and ideas.

by the way you could do this with steel a lot cheaper but it will be about 3 times as heavy.
