I may use the Skate board Bearing Idea and the box section steel for an extra long pullout

May be not that long whilst I need the rear seats

Like the idea but being so long the sliders must be heavily engineered surely.

I like that, but does it need the tailgate to supprt the weight when the drawer is open?

I don't think so. follow the link and it shows you the build

Just one thing on safety, if you get a rear end shunt, the side pieces could penetrate the front seats...

I am especially careful when loading lengths of timber or tubing, that they are not behind any passengers, I place them at an angle.

As soon as I see the pic I thought a minor rear end could be devastating for the occupants in the front..
