Need Help Identifying

Post by engelhe »

I want to restore my father's Snap on tool box.Can anyone help me identify the year/model number of this toolbox.
Dimensions are about 50"Wx26.5"Dx39.5"H (From floor) It has 6 Drawers on the 50" side and 4 drawers on the 26.5" side. The closest I could find to this on the site is a 1978 KR-562A.

Ah, we'd call that the "hot dog stand" in the shop. I need to know if there are all drawers on the end or is it drawers and a cabinet on the bottom? The back should have a cabinet as you've shown in the 2nd picture. Could be a KR537. These came in many configurations and some had tow hooks for aviation tarmac/hangar use. I'll do some searching.
