Adding tracks to wooden drawers that weren't intended to have any

I'm not sure where to post this question since it's so general, but since this is an issue with kitchen drawers I figured I'd try here. I'd like to add tracks to the bottom of the large wooden drawers in my kitchen. The drawers are homemade, 60+ years old, and have no tracks or channels at all. They slide in and out on their sides and bottom. They are becoming very hard to open and close, and sanding them down didn't make any difference. I would like to add tracks/slides to the bottoms. However, since the drawers weren't built to accommodate these, I'm not sure if it's possible. The drawers are already a tight fit into their openings - they shed sawdust every time they're used. What would be the best way to approach this problem? Thanks in advance!
