We didn't haggle a lot We pulled a few drawers, some conversation about the box and I asked his "bottom dollar" Which produced a story about how he had been offered $500 at some point, I already had $500 as my top dollar and after seeing the box knew I would do OK at $500 Then came the tools, I...

Some pics this morning From a quick google on a few of the tools looks like I came out OK on this deal, might sell some of the tools I don't think I'll ever use And to top everything else we had to move a truck bed sliding cover that was on the garage floor He says "do you want this thing?"...

OK I bought it! $500 for the box and vise $100 for the tools... Which I really didn't need :sad: There are a hand full of Mac and Snap-on wrenches and lots of Craftsman in one drawer There is a drawer full of Craftsman sockets and ratchets (4 ratchets maybe) and I saw a stubby 1/4" drive snap...

As for "friction slides" he said thats what they have but one of the larger drawers (not sure which one) is ball bearing I know my dads 1972 MAC tool box with friction slides works very well, a little grease on them and they are good to go

I'm thinking my limit is $500, and thinking he might take that... Also, this is like 30 minutes away, so to me "local" is worth some extra coin too... Not sure what "tools" he might throw in for a little more I want the box cause I already have to many tools! Need somewhere to put them Been...

Found a tool box on CL I'm going to look at tonight Talked to the guy last night, he says its "no show box" but in good condition At some point someone tried to paint it Only one pic, and not a good one at that After seeing some current ads and prices for boxes this doesn't seem like a bad deal...

I just did a similar thing with the Lithonia fixture you are looking at (i went T8 rather than T5 due to cost of each lamp) You can see my results here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=202971 I would recommend you use the "Visual Interior Tool: on the Lithonia web site...

OK so these aren't technically "tools" but they are part of a tool box (and the story) so I say they count. My dad had these along with some other stickers on the inside top, of the top box. How about some 41 year old state fuel tax stickers? I'll have to ask this weekend if there is any...

OK guys here is your first "teaser" shot :-) and a short story... First pic is second drawer from the bottom, 1/2" and 3/4" drive impacts there are some missing that I already had here at my place, they will go back in the drawer too soon Note also the Matco drawer handle damaged and has black...

I'll take some "as is pics" tomorrow of a couple of drawers As time went on he did less of the rebuilding level work and more maintenance type work for the shop he worked at was smaller I'm up for video, not sure if he will be, but we will see

Tall ceilings were a function of my truck 1971 AM General M818 and the 12' tall door I needed to drive it in, hence the 14' height The mule is great! Lots of fun and the cool factor is huge

My dad was a farmer, in the army, came home to farm some more, worked at plumbing and a family appliance business. 1972 is when a friend got him a job at International Harvester in downtown Atlanta on Whitehall street Right down the street from the Blue Bird truck stop (if anybody know "old" Atlanta

Wow! Thanks for the support I have to admit, when I posted this I really didn't think many people would even be interested in a greasy old tool box, glad to see other people enjoy this kind of stuff and ill be happy to share more I plan to leave everything where it is but pick a drawer and clean...

Today was a great day for me As I have been building my shop my dad has mentioned several times "as soon as you get it built you need to come get some of these tools" His profession was diesel mechanic, from the time when they would tear down engines and build them back up on over the road...

Well I'm starting this project today! Will decide as I go how to wire them up Will be 3-way for sure! like the Diagram posted above (Stuart in MN) thanks Not sure how I will combine them though Funny enough its that cloudy overcast day i was imagining when i wanted to do half of each fixture, so...

I considered that this would be something I wouldn't use very often... but it seems the "right" thing to do with 2 doors in the shop, new construction, no better time than the present kind of thing Thinking now I may do "front of the shop" "back of the shop" like "RickP" above suggested and only...
