RaMoN_88_SS Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I got this saturday at work. One of our techs was moving to a different company and when he was loading up his toolbox with the forklift he dropped it..It has a few scratches and the handles on the drawers are bent..but it locks and the drawers open and close just fine. He is one of those short tempered kind of people...He was so pissed he kept saying he was gonna throw it away..So I offered to buy it, I asked him how much and he said $50.00...I asked him like 10 times if he was sure. I'm sure he regretted it the next day but hell its about time I win one. The following week I showed a picture of it to my Matco guy so I could get a lock for it and he offered me $400 for it..I looked it up and similar boxes on Matco are going for $3,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idahoBLKss Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 but the question is , did it come with the speaker?? if so that is tight ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'd frame it out with some angle for sure and weld it up. Brace it right and you won't have to use alot it's pretty man strong. You can go 3/16 if you want. Would def go at least 1 1/2 tho so u have room to mount yr flat paneling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
