Deve,
I have a 92 GMC Conversion Van and under the rear bench they have placed a
drawer with a catch on the outside. It works great most of the time.
Except when the kids (or me) place something to big in the drawer and when
you go to pull it out - it sticks up and you can not open the drawer. There
is a lot more space above the drawer than just inside it. It is an open box
that from the rear you can add items or take things out of it. To fix the
jam you have to climb under the seat from the rear and push the item down to
get the drawer open. A design change I would make is to have the drawer
much taller. This could fix the problem. One other thing could do would be
to cut an opening and keep the original material however hinge it so you can
just swing down the cut out piece. This could give you great access to the
whole area and allow you to store and retrieve big items.

Subject: [oletrucks] AD Seat Idea
I have been tossing around the idea of better utilizing the space under the
seat of an AD by making slide-out drawers under the seat. Its sort of a pain
to get to the stuff under the seat as it is but it seems it would be
possible to cut out drawer holes in the front of the seat pedestal and make
drawer slides and metal drawers for it. I dunno if I want to do it since it
involves cutting holes where they dont belong, but a custom truck could sure
use the extra space. Has anyone done anything like this already?
