New to me Old Craftsman Tool Box

[indiomonk]

I purchased a 1983 Sears Best Heavy Duty 12 drawer bottom and 12 drawer top 26.5" tool box a few weeks ago and love it. Now I have been looking for a red and grey setup but have only been able to find the tops. Now I am searching for the bottoms but it seems that I end up with Kennedy bottoms.
Any leads on some bottoms in the Dallas Tx area appreciated.

Since I only have 3 posts I cannot post pics.. Let me post a couple more times

You can always paint your box in the red/gray paint scheme... the upside is you have a more modern box with less wear. Someone somewhere else was talking about passing on a Red/Gray because of the condition, and mine from the 60's took a lot of work just to make it usable and reliable again (including new casters; the old ones were literally shot).

Thanks for the reply.

I never thought of painting the kennedy red and grey. Also, thanks for letting me know what kind of work goes into restoration of an old box.

Going to have to go in all the way or not at all.

I feel cheated.
I see a 3 drawer craftsman top,
I see a 10 drawer craftsman top,
I don't see a 12 drawer craftsman bottom or 12 drawer craftsman top.
SHOW YOUR BOTTOM!
