Hey Now from SW FLA

Hey Now Garage Guys,

I'm restoring an "old" Craftsman tool chest and happened to stumbled across this site while doing some research.

I need some help identifying the model I happened to score and tips on doing the restoration. I'm not a garage guy and I'm not exactly restoring it back to factory condition. It's more like a fun "Art" project with some technology involved.

It's the standard issue Red I think from the 80's or 90's. The drawers don't have any black plastic clips, to release the drawers from the rails you need to lean on the frame clips (not fun) and get them to clear the rails.

It has a chest on top with a hinged lid, then a split set of flat drawers, 2 flat drawers, then a double height drawer.

The roller chest has 2 flat drawers, then a double height drawer, then a approx 12" open section below with a flip up front cover.

Sorry if this is vague, I have pics, not sure how to upload them here.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

~ hayduke

Hey Now!

Thank bro, here's the pic. Hope that works.

Welcome to GJ from just north of you.

The top chest looks very similar to mine that I got in the 80's, except I have six small drawers and three full size. Mine is also only red with no black stripes. So the 1980's may be an appropriate place to narrow it down.

Try posting this question and the photo under 'General Garage Discussion' and you will have a lot more hits. There is not as much traffic here in the Intro area.

Good Luck on your restoration project.

Welcome to GJ.

Unless somebody removed it, it should have a small 1"x1' sticker in one of the top drawers. If it does, it'll have the model number on it.
