Got that from sears. I think yoga mat would work the same for much lower cost.

I just bought a camping pad from Walmart for $7 it's the foam pad you lay under your sleeping bag. I think it was 22 or 24" x 72" and its blue. I shadowed the wrench drawers in my new to me matco box at work.
With the thin black drawer liner still underneath it really stands out when a wrench is missing. It's cheap enough to redo if I ever replace the craftsman wrenchs down the road, but I've been using them since I started fixing cars in 1999 and they've not let me down yet!
Really easy to cut out with an xacto knife.

My tool collection has grown significantly since these pictures were taken and I need to redo my setup. I'm going the sleeping mat route for sure

You'll want to stretch it out and weigh it down for a day or so before use. I stuck mine under the rubber bed mat in my truck. Between the weight of the rubber mat plus the heat from the sun it straightened right out.

I bought the 42" Husky chest and filled right quick. I'm looking at getting a cart to wheel over to the car.
All so this young man and I can learn how to restore a Bronco.

This will be a fantastic project for you and your son.
Sure is! Coming along well and he has learned as much as the old man. Welding plasma cutting, fabrication, repair and bodywork.
Fun

This is my current work box from Sidchrome. It's a good combo but I've run out of room in it having to stack tools ontop of tools. Almost all Snap-On/Bluepoint/CAT.
I'll be replacing it at tax time with a 42" Maxim roll cab.
I own the Maxim 42 in black. Rate it highly, been using it for four years without a problem. I have the thing loaded to the hill and it moves around just fine. Also never had any problems with draws or lock. IMO best quality you can buy for the price.

That's good to know then without me being able to "test" one out since I'm in W.A.
Did you go the 11 or 13 draw?

Yeah we just moved in a month ago. We are a trucking company with a huge fleet and it was time to build a bigger shop. We only had 2 bays before now we have 5.

Very jealous of that box but i guess i will just have to live with the 84" triple cab epic series with workcenter/hutch that i just ordered today in black with the blue anodized trim. Couldnt say no to the deal i got through the Snap-on rock'n roll toolbox truck.

A couple pics of my main box .... a 40" Craftsman Griplatch with full-width, single-drawer, intermediate section and eight drawer top chest. Plus, miscellaneous add-on items such as folding side self, can rack, glove-box holder, small side tray, and paper towel holder.
It's quite modest compared to many of the pro boxes in this thread, but I've been using it for about five years now and it has given good service for a low-to-mid priced tool chest. Fortunately, it was built before Cman tool chests got as chintzy as they now seem to be.
However, I do envy the tool chests with the deeper (front to rear) drawers as the current 18 in. sometimes seems rather small. Drawers 24 in. deep (front to rear) would be awesome!!
A couple of representative drawer pics:
1/2" drive sockets and ratchets (left and right sides of the full-width intermediate chest drawer)
Plier drawer
SAE combo wrench drawer (one of two drawers)

How easy was it to get the extra drawers to replace the deep narrow drawer?

It was quite easy ... much easier than I expected; however, that was several years ago. Who knows if the same would hold true now. I documented the drawer change-out in the thread referenced immediately below titled "Craftsman Tool Chest Drawer Modification".
I'm very happy with the mod!!

Will do but that will be like 6-8 weeks till it gets built and shipped to me. Until then here is a pic of my current box that I'm trading in on the new one... Nothing wrong with it, just not entirely what I want.

Wanted the 84 with power drawer. Like alot but the shop I'm in now isn't toolbox friendly so had to go with a 68.

*UPDATE*
Sockets, ratchets/breaker bars, extensions, screwdrivers/prybars,
Pliers. 20 of them. In that tiny *** drawer haha.
I know this is a dark picture. But I have a small and large set of picks, Allen keys, washer fluid concentrate, brake grease, batteries, safety glasses, and odds and ends stuff.
Paper work drawer.
Wrenches.
Power tools and hammers.
**** I couldn't fit anywhere else.
Being a student and having to move my tools back and forth to between work and school I just keep a cart with the "essentials" the other stuff is at home. Well now my "essentials" require a lot more room. Hahaha. I'm ready to graduate so I can move into my box I have at home!

Yessir. Post the Bronc up when you get how ya'll want it. Heck, even if you never finish it; I guarantee neither of you will ever regret the experience and time together.
Almost done! We replaced ALL of the sheet metal and fabricated a sweet winch mount for it.
After my 2 post lift arrives we will swap out the springs on all corners and the steering box. Then is just scuff and shoot. Exciting!

Today I swapped big bottom drawer out for 2 smaller ones. I call it the KRSC37. I wanted to isolate the stuff floating around my impacts so that worked out well. Doing everything I can to make the 43 cart last a little longer. I will post drawer update pictures next week; I can't fit much more.

Thanks man. The box by itself is $6290, as you know, but the Snap-on dealer let me have it for free. I rolled the whole package, brand new, off his truck for $5290+ tax. I would say I got a good deal. Free stainless top + $1000 instant discount = a deal I couldn't refuse. The top is almost $1000 by itself.
Heck yeah man that is an awesome deal, my snap on guy gave me a sweet deal on mine, gave me 2500 for my classic 78 and gave me 2300 off the new box, so I definitely couldn't pass it up, I almost have it full of tools now lol

If you ditch those trays that snappy sockets come in and went to Hansen trays or rails you clear a lot of space
