Way to store saws in Pick-up Bed ?

Luv the duct tape !

Thanks ... that's my redneck special: cardboard and duct tape scabbard. I'm thinking of making something a little better, with holders for the scrench and file kit.

My saws would leak bar oil all over the seat if I did that. My wife would not be happy the next time she rode in the truck.

i like it; discourages the wife from complaining about the junk in the truck.

I usually just go with the tossed in the bed method. . . . but when i had my yota i had a 2x6 across the bed behind the cab i just boored some slots in.

That is one of the great things about standing 6'3" I can place the saws in their rack standing on the ground

Mine like to put their feet up:

LOL

If those saws are under 8 years old, or shorter than than 4'8", they have to ride in the back in a booster seat.

Either side of the tray, tucked in the inside of the sides I have angle iron bolted down with holes every foot so I can attach tie downs to secure loads.
This tool box is secured by these points and doesn't move.
This tool box is large enough to hold the 385 and 395.

I wish they sold those simex tires (the spare in the back) here. They look wicked.

Custom Cases

I'm a pipe welder by trade but own around forty saws. I've been thinking about making custom cases out of aluminum which would be form-fitted to each specific saw and have 1/8 rubber at all contact points. They would be water tight and take up little more volume than the saw itself. I was planning on building cases for my personal saws but if there is any interest in this let me know. Cost would be around $250 but I'm just guessing based on my time invested.

There have been discussions on this on other threads (search for 'cases'). After about $50, most people purchased plastic cases, built plywood boxes, or went 'commando'.

We were thinking about getting one of those, all we've got now is one of those cheapy plastic ones. We figure we can use one like that, leave it at the site and set the skidder blade on it.

I'm still trying to figure out the perfect saw rack and this is my latest try. I'll add more pictures after work tomorrow.

Is that a bed liner under that piece of plywood?

Nope. And that's not plywood. Its an environmentaly friendly, ecologically sound, reusable, renewable, biodegradable, custom fit, anti chafe device. Got it at Home Depot.

Anyone have a way to secure saws in a Pick-up Bed they'd like to share?

Thanks for any pics !!

throw it in there & let gravity do the rest...

 

[056kid]

This isn't exactly "IN" the bed but close.

This is the handiest way I've ever had for cutting and hauling.
Saws go in the one box. Straps and chains in another. Other side fits a shovel and axe, etc. And then of course tools for work etc in the rest.

thats how my boss does it,

except he prefers Reading/ southern coach boxes...
