Default Plans for f150 supercab box

Does anyone have any plans or specs for an f150 box that would fit in a supercab? Im laid off for the winter and would love to make my own box but im going to wait until i make my own specs or someone has already made plans for a truck box that would fit under the back seat...let me know if u have any good ideas or plans. thanks

I have always made my boxes out of MDF. I believe OSB and plywood flex too much and can warp in moist environments.

Same here, I'm sure you could get away with some high grade plywood, but it would be cost prohibitive. MDF is the best value, and it's dense.

You did a good job building it. It looks almost identical to the box I bought. I would have made my box like you did, but it seemed too time consuming. Do you mind Sharing you dimensions?
