    build a five foot sliding platform to hold 500-700 bls on end?

    Simular to a truck bed slide, I would like to use 80/20 and build it to my custom length and width. 90% of the bed would be sticking out of the truck. The bed length would be about 6 feet long. I want it to handle 500-700 bls. So the bearings would be able to handle 5ftx700bls = 3500 bls/2 which is 1,500 bls each? bearing on each side? Not sure if this is the right math.

    here is how it would look

    Thanks!

    interesting how no one is interested

    Is this to borring of a subject for 80/20? I will be making this, then of course, add on extras.

    BTW, what would be really great is to see if a tool box could be put together with this stuff and be just as strong as a snapon box. Nothing against snapon I like there boxes but they are a bit on the pricy side.
