" I guess next I'll be on the lookout for a 1965 Snap On catalog"

I bought one on ebay but it still has not shown up. I'll be glad to get you some copies of your toolbox when I finally get the catalog.

Nice work on the resto, by the way!

I've been thinking about cleaning up my box at work(fix dents, paint, ect.) and that wood grain gives me ideas

Nice score.

Hey what's in the red Proto box and do you want to sell it?

 

[wreckercologist]

I got my catalog tonight in the mail so I thought I'd throw up a few pics

Very very sad...

My first cam was a Crane Fireball for a small block chevy that went in a '55 Chevy Hardtop and a BW T-10 4-speed.

I'd like to think that this box is a tribute to the days when Crane was in its
prime and Harvey was still calling the shots.My first aftermarket cam was a
Fireball too. It soldiers on in the 57 Chevy I've had for 34 years now. Its been
thru a few sets of lifters, springs,timing sets, etc. Woefully ancient technology(by todays standards) but allows me to run pump gas with 11-1 compression,has the most wonderful nasty sounding idle and will run to
7200 rpm without complaint.


Thanks to all for the positive comments(your making my head swell) and
thanks to Wreckercologist for posting the 65 catalog pics,definitely on the
search mode now. Is the middle box mentioned at all in the 65 catalog?

I don't see one. Your box is listed on a single page with no mention of an intermediate box. PM me your email and I'll send you a little better pics.

I never get tired of looking at those KRA500 series boxes!

Well imagine my surprise to see this bumped up from the archives. 2 years down the road and it still is a special piece of my shop. Thanks guys!

I remember when Crane was in Hallendale,Fl mid to late 60's..

Looks like someone is still operating it or using the name.

Now that is interesting!
So someone is still manufacturing Crane Cams in the U.S., I wonder?
