Mechanics step in - Source for old MATCO toolbox parts?
Dropped that box getting it out of the truck, pranged one set of drawer slides. No luck trying to straighten them.

These are straight light-duty slides, not the ball-bearing type. I see plenty of BB slides on Fee Bay, but no non-BB.

I guess if I had to, I could adapt but I'd rather have the old style.

Any leads appreciated.

Any chance you are a member of the garage journal forum? It's kind of an equivalent of SF but for tools. I haven't been too active there recently, but I know the members there would have some good ideas for something like this.

If you need any help, feel free to reach out to me.

I needed to replace some drawer slides and was surprised to find a huge, in stock inventory at HD

Contact Matco with the box model and see if they will get one to you.
When we had a Matco guy that showed up he got me some for mine.
I need some more and one of these days I'll e-mail them about getting some more as that truck went poof years ago.

^^^That or if they don't have them, try a Snap-on dealer or the main company website. That's where I got some several years ago.

I saw your box looks just like an older Proto box.
For slides try kennedy.
I think they are the same if you need any dimensions from kennedy slides to compare let me know.
