so, i'm between a rock and a hard place. Here is what i have done: bed pivots winch front deck bumpers got the exectrics
What i know how to do: Rear wheels Chassis
what i need to figure out how to do: steering - thinkin of usin a rc10 system, as i have a few of them sittin around drivetrain - thinking of using a pan car making the bed slide back and forth - need some ideas on how to do that, thinking of using a threaded rod to give it thrust, but not sure what it should slide on.

For the slide.. Just use a bearing in a track. Mount the bearing on the bed., and the track on the chassis.. Put the threaded rod going up the middle, and a nut fixed to the bed. Threaded rod turns with a motor, pushing the bed back.
