Snap-On drawer slides

[Nfenimore]

Can these 13inch drawer slides still be found? I haven’t posted in the wanted section yet, but thought I’d ask about them first. I have one that is bent and tweaked but can’t complain on the deal I got for the box. I’m posting 3 pics of a good one for example against 3 pics of the bad one. Thanks in advance.

What's the model # and year manufactured of the box?

I'm not sure about the year - its the bottom roller. Here are the numbers, the last being the S/N I am guessing. This is stamped on the lower front:

KR-558B
1221583

Upon studying the other numbers and referring to a question on another forum, mine appears to be of 1976 manufacture.

Have you contacted Snap-on? I just purchased slides from Snapon for a tool cart of similar vintage. I was not the original owner so I was charged about $8 EA with free shipping. Seemed like a reasonable price. But I do not know how Prices are in Canada.

Thanks for the responses. I'm actually in Washington State, and I will give them a call to see. I don't mind paying at all for a replacement.

They are still stocked so I bought three to have two spares, and also another spare set of drawer slide removal tools...

I called the Snap On customer service about a year ago and they sent me a complete set of slides and two removal tools for a 1963 top box, for FREE. They even included the shipping. I told them I had inherited the box, which I did, and wanted to restore it to like new condition. They were super helpful. Good luck.
