A) I took advice from others in previous posts...and made a cardboard template. It took me (3) tries, but I finally got it (See template below).

B) I carefully cut my 24" x 24" piece of plywood into (3) - 24" x 6-1/2" using a circular saw and clamped all three pieces together.

C) Then I trimmed the 24" length down to 21-1/8" (again, using my circular saw)...so now I had (3) - 21-1/8" x 6-1/2" pieces clamped together.

D) Next, I measured in from the bottom right hand corner 1/4" and drew a line from that mark to the upper right hand corner...and made the cut, using the circular saw. This would be the angle required for the part of the bed that faces the front of the truck (closest to the spare tire).

E) Next, I measured in from the bottom left hand corner 7/8" and drew a line from that mark to the upper left hand corner...and made the cut, using the circular saw. This would be the angle required for the part of the bed that faces the rear of the truck (closest to the bumper).

F) I then rounded the bottom corners of the dividers with a jig saw and sanded smooth...so that they fit flush to the sides and bottom of the trunk.

Tomorrow, I will prime and paint them black and post pictures...but for now, here is the template that I used:

Here are the pictures of the finished product:
