Hello folks, I have recently acquired tool chest KR 56 and rolla bench KR 300D. They are about 1955 - 1958 vintage I think. The KR 56 looks like it came originally wrinkle grey and was sprayed red sometime in its lifetime. A set of slides are damaged in each box. I have measured the slides for the KR 56 they are 3/4" deep, 10 1/2" long and 1/4" thick. The slides from the KR 300D are 3/4" deep, 12 1/4" long and 1/4" thick. The snap on folks don't have parts listings going that far back. I suspect some later boxes (that have current parts numbers) might use the same slides. If longer slides are still available with the right depth and thickness, I can shorten them to fit. Any help with part numbers would be appreciated.

This is my combo. The roller corresponds to the 1954 catalog. Top box, roughly same time frame.
