Pack-Rat Restoration x2

admin

Found these two abused tool boxes on craigslist and I was in desperate need of a box due to me "rigging" out my work truck. The guy wanted 600$ for the pair, so I offered him a hand gun for trade and he accepted. Im familiar with weatherguard's quality so I knew these were a complete steal. Mostly cosmetic damage I decided to repair them here are some before and after pics. hope you enjoy! Attached Images
Reply:why in heavens name would you tape around faded stickers and not clean them off and apply new ones. the red looks good as does the grip tape  ... over the internet anyway.
Reply:Honestly I was pressed for time and couldn't find the new decals anywhere it took me 3 weeks just to get the new locks and keys. And this is a work tool box its going to get stepped on dropped on ect. But I do see your point. Any idea on where to get new decals?

Reply:pak rats are awesome. I used one on my rig for a long time.... then i built a real bed. but seriously, its a great idea. I really liked using mine,I welded a weathergaurd underbody box to the top of it and mounted it all to a skid.Local 597
