Finally snapped some pictures of the organization, or lack there of, and my box now that I've got it mostly setup.

I might the the yellow top and make it my LSU box!Don't see many purple ones. There was a 3-bay purple top cab for cheap on our local CL here a while back but I didn't get it because I figured I'd never find a buyer with a barney box!![]()
No. My father was a tech at a dealer for 30 years, and before that owned his own shop. This was all hisQuite a collection.
Do you work in a body shop?

Dad passed a year ago. He lived in the desert and this sat in storage for a year till i could bring myself to move it. I'm still cleaning it.Gotcha. I just noticed a lot of dust on blow-molded boxes and drawer liners and thought it looked like the remnants of a body shop employee.
I used to have that issue as in my old shop did mechanical and body work. When I built my shop at home back in 1995 I swore I would NEVER do body work or paint in my home shop for that very reason. That fine body dust gets everywhere.

I avoid body shop boxes like the plague. The environment is hell on boxes, especially the old friction slides.
Thankfully his two brothers knew better than to come looking. Mom laid it out right after dad passed, these tools were mine, and that was his wish. I grew up knowing these tools were how I was fed, clothed, and supported. So they have a value to me that's immeasurable.Sorry to hear of his passing but that is awesome you at least have a need and desire for them, regardless the circumstances in which you obtained them. I am sure he would have wanted you to have and use them. Handed down tools always feel better in your hands anyways because they have a history behind them. I wasn't that lucky as my dad's tool collection was a hodge podge assortment and I had other family members get to them long before me, however, my son will get all mine someday and I hope he appreciates them.
Yes, the dust takes its toll on slides.

I love that box on the right. Story?
Yeah, inquiring minds want to know the story. Looks like a 7023 with a full size work center and the side locker. I dig the color, its like my boxes brother. I could use a locker like that!
