Tool box upgrade
Always short of storage space so made my dealer friend friend a offer on this box with end drawer set. For the moment I have 3 empty and quite a bit of space in several others. Put the old one on Craigslist for a $100 and it was gone next day. Note wood block on big box's wheel. Driveway has a small slope to it,turned my back while loading it and it decided to head for the street My Ranger PU stopped it though.

how did it get past the chevy? I'd love your old bottom box. $100 is almost worth crying over.

That picture is after I retrieved from the side of the Ranger,was further away from the Corvair Pu and at a bit of a angle aimed to the Ranger. Backstory on the old box a craigslist item. Took several weeks to contact the seller ,as I recall paid $75-80 for it. It had some odds and ends in it mounted points ,carbide burrs etc. Sold off some of the burrs and paid for the box.

More room, more storage, and more stuff. Always welcome.

Re: Tool box upgrade
I set up a spreadsheet to calculate the total drawer area of various toolboxes/chests/rollaways and combinations. I used area rather than volume because almost all of what I need to store are small tools that need to go in a single layer (mics, rulers, calipers, etc...).
The Kennedy 297B bottom with the 285B chest has the drawer area of almost 8-1/2 Kennedy 7-drawer machinist chests (and takes a LOT less room). Some of the top chests have a top compartment and others are designed to stack, so I could even put another on top of that.
It's not as much as an 11-drawer Lista, but then it's not $1,400 used either.
