Again , Thanks all.
I have had several members contact me in regards to building them one.
here would be a few hurdles. if any.
The coverings? Do them in Black carpet? for those of you that want it to match your interior this would pose a compromise. unless I could identify your exact interior color.

Also, What would the consensus be on the door style one big door or 2?

And last What would one expect to pay for such an Item?

I am going to try my completed box in another SD to see if it fits. this way I can estimate the reliability of FIT.

Please feel free to give me your 2 cents...

I actually left a space close to the front of the box.
Plenty room for 2 rifles etc...

Also The carpet lid the doors fit so tight you cant even tell their doors.
perhaps Ill leave them incognito

Nice. Good thinking.

DAMN SAM!!! You are quite the Craftsman. Your work is top notch.

I Like the 2 door idea, simply because of convenience.

If you could tell us how many hours you have into this project (maybe you did already, I just couldn't sit there and read the whole post. I had to get to all to the pics pronto), and cost of materials, then we might be able to help you out with pricing.

I not sure what I would pay for it, but I'm curious what others would pay.

The economy might not be bad on you with this caliber of work that you do.

I mean that, you have some skills.

Thanks for the compliments. here is a quick breakdown

Materials list.

Trying to narrow it down the the absolute minimums.

2 qts of resin with MEK.
4' of 36 in. matte glass med weight (I dont know the oz size.)
1' of 36" Woven glass same as above. (Ill have to do the homework on the weights)
1/2 sheet 5/8 plywood (high grade stuff)
1/2 sheet 1/4 luan (door skin material)
2 yards of standard backless carpet.
1/4 can flat black spray paint

This does not include any 's like tape screws nails acetone contact cement

Also In my best estimate for a minimal setup "I do mean minimal" I think
one could build one of these every 4 hours. remember this is not a full blown production facility.
So add 4 hours as the labor

Extras would include but not be limited too.
Added Locks.(for the doors)
Custom color carpet
Matched Vinyl
then as wit all things Shipping would be extra.

Thanks!!!!

$499(base) up to $699 or more depending on features ordered (locks, hinged doors, maybe lighting, trim levels, etc..etc.. endless possibilities really)?

I would be interested in one large opening but with a 2 part door that mirrors the width of the seat that has been flipped up. As for pricing, I have no idea. I'll leave that up to you.

I woluld pay $400 plus shipping. ($500 retail - powerstroke.org $100 discount) I like the 2 lid option to match the seats folding and no internal dividers, unless needed for strength, I have 2 booster seats in back so on trips could only acess small side. To keep price down go for black, all trucks have black seat brackets.
