Snap On KR-558C clean up/question

[NYBODYMAN]

I picked up this Snap On KR-558C Friday morning. It's in great shape and just needs a clean up. I took the drawers out this morning and noticed that the top two drawer slides are broken-the spring steel drawer keepers that are riveted on to keep the slides inside the box are broken and missing. Are these friction slides still available from SO? My thought was to use a small sawzall blade and make them to rivet on but if the slides are readily available I would possibly go that route.

On a positive note, I found some cool **** on the bottom of the drawer....A spark plug catalog from 1982 and an Oldsmobile 442 Air cleaner cover. It's aluminum and a little beat up but I clean it up and make it a wall hanger.

SnapOn will tell you that your toolbox belongs in a museum if you ask them for new slides for this rig. The good news is that some other guys figured out that modern slides fit some of the older model boxes. Maybe throw the question over in the Snap On thread and see if someone there knows. SnapMom may also be able to help you out on this adventure.

Yeah that was my thought. I may just fab up some stoppers and call it a day. Thanks.
