I would not pay 1k for that box, not even half that.

Man, that's an odd ball box, end drawers and shelves in the same cab? It would be totally worthless in my garage. Almost looks like a custom box or something?
It doesn't look like it's in the greatest shape, you can clearly see worn paint and dents in the drawers and side. I wouldn't give a grand for it unless you really need a super odd cabinet. I'm not sure that I would even give $500 for it.

yeah the only guys who need this box are aviation electricians. thats about it. they are hard to use you need lots of room all around it to open the drawers. I would look for some other box. try and find at least a krl722 or krl761 good starter box

Sure as ****, a taco wagon. After some Googling I found some similar, but nothing in a 50" wide unit.
I guess as a huge rollaround tool cart it would work out pretty well. Still seems odd to me. I've never seen anything like it.

i would love a taco wagon. my cabinets get moved around my shop so i almost always have access to all sides. besides, that baby is huge with tons of storage. kind of like the family truckster when you were a teen. not as much fun to drive but nobody has to stay home either. it does appear to be somewhat abused but may be a good candidate for resto at a cheaper price if it fits your needs.
If it fits into the working layout of your shop then yes. However 90%+ of shops want only one working side of a box.
This guy is always dealing with boxes. He know he has an orphan and if it fits your shop then make him an offer.

I would buy that taco cart for $600-750 tops.

He started about $2900.
No, I'm not kidding. Davefr, you're getting this guy confused with Dennis in Salem. He's the one always selling boxes, he (Dennis) bought one from a co-worker of mine.

I paid $400 two years ago for the one I have. Looks about the same wear wise. Mine did not have keys, which I got for $15 from my Snap-On dealer.

Snap On Taco Box, that one looks like a late seventies model. $500 is a fair price for it.
Some guy keeps trying to sell one of those on eBay for $750...doesn't look too bad but it's missing a couple drawers.

There was one of those on Wisco craigslist for about a year for $500.
Thanks for correcting!!

$1000 is a bit much unless it looks a lot better in person. But mainly, does the layout suit you.

They rarely sell for more than about $600 around here.
