Vintage Snap On Tool Box Identification and Drawer Slides

[UncleScam]

Hello - I have this older box and don't know the history of it. The bottom left drawer slides are broken and I'm looking to see if anyone could point me in the correct direction on replacement or upgrade options. I looked all over the box for some kind of identification but haven't been able to locate anything. At this point I'm not even sure if it really is a Snap On as I haven't been able to locate any additional Snap On markings other then the one on the front. Thanks in advance for any assistance in identifying the box or drawer slide options.

I presume you have looked on the back? Is can be faint, especially if repainted. I use a flashlight at an angle and that help cast a shadow and make it easier to read.

Hey U,

The numbers will be on the back or the side...

"KR....." (may well be in the "KRA" series...5213??)

Those look to be the "regular" ball bearing slides....

Later, Mark

the SO badge was used until the mid 80s, SO wasn't really using roller slides during that time. My guess is that the box isn't a SO

OTOH, I can't remember anyone other than Snap-on using that side-by-side-large-small configuration.

Looks like it's got a full width drawer in the bottom, I rember seeing a drawer configuration similar, but can't remember who made it.... maybe MAC?

Thanks for the replies so far. I looked all over the back but couldn't find anything. I did find that the slides are from Accuride (pic attached). I reached out to both Snap On (they said they no longer have parts for this box) and Accuride (they referred me back to Snap On). I'll still keep searching before I resort to a "creative" solution.

Exactly. Snap On never had ball bearing slides on a box that old. Either someone converted it to ball bearing slides, or more likely, it's a different brand.
