Thanks! I’m hopeful it will see another 30 years or more in my shop! Maybe longer if my nephew shows interest in it. Next job is to get the duct tape residue off of it.

Booyah!!

IT WORKED!!!! Old channel meet new straight channel! I’ve got a slide mounted as Matco intended! Now all I have to do is attach the new innermost channel to the drawer and put it all together! Planning to use small machine screws unless anyone has a better idea. I’ll drill the channel on my...

Update: got the new slides and they seemed like the Channels were a match for the old slide. Just for fun I took one apart and did the same with my old slide. The largest channel was undamaged and it’s the one that locks into the box so I want to try and use it. The original bearings between the...

Thanks, looks like they mounts the same but are for a smaller drawer. I ordered replacements from Amazon yesterday. They are supposed to be here Friday so I’m hoping to mount them Sunday. I’m instructing our fire academy all day Saturday. :FIREdevil

Tried Knape and Vogt again today and got a guy named Tim in their tech department who was a great help. Kind of disappointing but he explained that Knap and Vogt never made this slide and he wishes Matco would stop telling people that. These slides were made by Waterloo so Flyoride you might be...

Cool, thanks! I’ve seen several that use tabs (I also learned they call them bayonets). Mine all slide one direction (in-line with the drawer) The modern slides all seem to have one “bayonet” that slides front to back inline with the drawer, and one that slides up or down. Either way I think if...

Tried a couple reps this morning. There doesn’t seem to be one in my area any more and the guys I did get in touch with recommended Matco Customer Service. Tried them again and I’m pretty sure I got the same guy. I asked if the slide number superseded to another, if there was any chance there...

This forum is awesome, thank you all for the help!! Got several of ideas on where to go next and a little encouragement at the end of a tough week. (Least of all over this box) Just for fun and because my shop door is only about 10’ from my garage door I ran out and measured the drawer. I...

Oh, and the slides are about 3/4” thick.

Rough measurements: 3 Inner channel tabs at: 2-1/4” 12-3/16” 22” from the back of the channel. Slides towards the rear of the drawer to lock in. 2 outer channel tabs at: 6-1/2” and 22” from the back. Slides towards the front of the box to lock in.

One more bit of info, the slides have “Matcoglide” stamped into them.

2 screws, one securing the front of the slide to the box and the other securing the slide to the drawer. The purpose of the screws seems to be to keep the slide from dislodging the tabs. I believe the tabs carry the weight.

I will have to figure out how to attach higher res pics.
