like this would leave room for lumber, etc. around 'em. It'll be going

So perhaps more GRFRP would be the material of ideal choice (and stick
with "much lighter"?)

enough welder to TIG the aluminum (MUCH lighter.)

I'm struck by the apparent inconvenience of these things more than
anything. If you're going to clutter up the bottom of the bed with a
drawer, then make it a full-length drawer. Otherwise use boxes that DO
fit the "saddlebag areas" in front of and behind the wheel wells (top
access for the front ones) and leave the bed clear. Or sell the bed and
put on a utility body.
