The different layer thickness adds depth and interest to the façade. This top rail thickness is perfect for hot wheel cars. The top rail is two ¾” X 3” layers exterior and a single layer of ¾” MDF interior. There is a single interior corrugated layer of 5/8” MDF. The dumper is ½” MDF with the exterior corrugated ribs two 5/8” X 3” layers MDF. Use a 3/8” router bit on all inside edges including the door and window areas. Use a ½” radius router bit on all outside edges. Lay the wire in before gluing, brad nailing and screwing them together. Going back to wiring, router a ½” by ½” groove on the inside panel so the wire will lay between the panels.

This gap plus sanding was plenty for door operation and alignment.
I cut the door out with a 1/16” blade on my reciprocating saw.
#Garbage truck bed windows#
I cut the strait edges of the windows out with a circular saw and finished the radius cut with a reciprocating saw. The fender shape is sculpted with a belt sander. The fender attaches in the single layer area to provide extra strength. Where the sides attach to the base they are only one layer thick. The cab left and right sides are mirror images with the exception of a routered groove for wiring if wanted. Screw pieces together with 1 ½” wood screws dry fitting and disassemble for facade fitting. I choose the height of a Rubbermaid container plus 3” for the storage height. The side height dimension is controlled by the needed storage height and 2/3 the mattress height. The top and bottom pieces rest on 1 ½” strips ¾” MDF attached to the ends and sides with glue and 1” screws. The back end piece will need an opening to access the storage area. The 5/8” MDF side pieces overlap the ¾” MDF ends. Based on this dimension you can determine the sides and ends. I measured the showroom floor mattress thinking it would be the same but it was 1 ¼” different in the width. Make sure you measure the actual mattress.
These pieces should be cut 2 inches larger than your mattress. The top and bottom pieces are 3/4” laminated particle board for easy cleanup and a slick sliding surface. The mattress will rest on the top piece and the bottom piece will be the floor in the storage area. The top and bottom pieces are the same size.
