Believe it or not, the top box was harder to find and more expensive than the bottom. The top with tax was 3100. The bottom was 2500.

The top is 54" the bottom is 73"... overall I'm very happy with it. Thinking of doing a toolbox tour video..

Thanks everyone! Has a lot of space compared to the 41" craftsman professional top and bottom i had for 15 years. Hopefully I dont ever have to upgrade.

It's basically a matco box.

Thats what my neighbor said when he saw it and the date of build tags... Just like his matco box. The finish is matte instead of gloss is the only difference I could see

That must've been like looking for a needle in a hay stack.
I have to agree. What makes a Armstrong box worth that kind of money?
How about some grammar lessons first?

Umm made in USA, heavy gauge steel box unlike the strictly toolboxes versions, 5600 vs over 10k for a snap on/mac/matco box for starters. Plus it's what I wanted.

Then that's what you should buy... I'd like to know where to buy a new truck for 5600.

my thoughts also, not much of a truck for 5600.

Correct, you see a ton of matcos, not many Armstrong's

Thanks! The top was built Oct of 2012 and the bottom was built March of 2015. I don't remember offhand the exact date. I can look when i get home if you really wanted to know.

Cool find, good for you. I have the matching bottom to your top, well almost. Mine is a Matco with gloss paint and mid drawer pulls. Mines from the 80's and needs a repaint. Which I'll do one of these days.
The old saying "The Don't Build Them Like This Anymore" holds true for my lower. It's built like a Sherman tank and weighs almost as much as one.

Thanks! You're right on the weight... It is built like a tank, but with the weight to match!
