Cheap tool box rebuild - feasible?

[BFBOB]

I have a cheap junk toolbox I bought to get its contents. It's a flip-top plus 3 drawers, measures about 10x10x18. The problem is the drawers. They don't have any kind of slide mechanism, just U channels they ride in. Pure ****. But there's room to put in full-extension ball bearing slides. Problem is, the ususal ones you find at Home Depot are much too deep, and cost $20 a pair or more. Anyone know of a source for full extension slides, 9" deep at a cost that wouldn't exceed the value of an essentially worthless toolbox?
Call me crazy, but I hate to scrap it since it's not all rusty or crunched up.

eBay.

You probably won't find 9" slides, but you'll find 8 and 10.

Dang, didn't think of that. And one of my mottoes is "eBay is your friend".
