    Matco replacement slides

    Hi Garage Journal , I picked up a Matco STC5D tool cart and it needs a couple of slides . Matco says they’re on national back order so that’s not much help There is a number stamped on every one (1635) The slides are 17” long and 1 & 13/16” wide . Thanks in advance
