I've got a classic 76 flanked by US General locker and side cab. Rather than spend a ton at snapon for a wood work top, I spent $100 for a 1⅜ slab of red oak chopping block from Menards. If you look at my early videos you'll see em. I am not going to spend on the truck anymore, and it's videos like this that inspire me to keep not buying new tool storage. Keep the custom boxes coming guys, let's see em!

I did video on 98 3500 service truck I own. I have listed to sale due no where to put it to fix it. But if I found a place should I tear engine down see if any damages since was extremely hot when I put coolant in it trying get home and made it in the engine oil. It is 5.7 vortec with distributor. I lost when comes to distributors and timing them etc. Or should I put diff engine and go throttle body on it? If I find your email Id email you. Or you email me just take LLC off and no spaces between words at g mail

That guy needs a 3/4 snap on or m18 2864 like I use at Mack/Volvo lol. Bad day indeed, hope that ratchet is OK lol

[@bestmastermind951]

I've got a Mac tech1000 triple bay box with two icon side lockers way more spaces than the big three

[@welder062]

If there is a place I can send pictures of the project upon its completion send me a message. I will be happy to share the idea in an effort to help anyone else that has a similar size problem as I am dealing with.

[@jeremyloden3930]

Man I’ll tell you what I’d like to is the us general 34” bank cart with the us general locker cabinet on it.

[@nitrous07me]

I had that us general tool cart 7 years ago & let me tell you what that thing was built like a tank, I had that thing over loaded with tools, everything still opened & closed as should, I ended up selling it to the Mac guy & bought a husky toolbox from Home Depot

[@malbright45]

I just ordered my 68 epiq. Now I’m starting to regret it 😂

[@St.Hermans_Speed_Shop]

I have a 56” U.S. general and just added a 26” to it.

[@thomasperina2990]

Hello CP, TOOLHAULICS, & Friends: CP, Terrific video sir. Your video precisely covered the gamut of tool box creations + the creativity of the owners. I for one have a considerable amount of Snap On tool boxes but I also have a garbage Freight roll cart with Snap On bumpers. I don't use the roll cart that much so it fits my needs without me having to pay 4 times the amount of cash for a Snap On. Yes I would love to have a Snap On roll cart with sliding stainless steel tops but as a business person I can't justify the cost. Great video CP & as always my best to you and Henry, TMP from N.J.

0:01 lefty tighty, righty loosey.

[@Tools_and_Guitars]

LOVED this video! Only wish it was longer with even more cool box mods. Thank you sir!

[@CPthetooladdict]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidwalle5025]

I put some Craftsman boxes in a steel tube frame with wheels over ten years before us general was out still using today. Good video

[@edoneill6701]

need a follow up video with more boxes, carts, tables, welding carts, etc... I've seen some wild stuff people have built out there, give us all inspiration and ideas to build off of.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Thanks for the idea!

[@marcvinette8512]

Awesome video! Hopefully you can do more "custom made" tool box videos in the future. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@CPthetooladdict]

That's the plan!

[@GickelsGaming]

Im glad to see you made the 5 +4 drawer! I have both of these carts and might be bringing the 4-drawer home soon. might wanna just mod my 5 and add the 4!

[@gtcam723]

I suspect that green USG in the beginning is a lot more stable with that box underneath. I have an old Craftsman my pop gave me and was looking for an intermediate chest to stack between the roll cab and the top box. Presently none available

[@ToolDemos]

Creativity + stop caring about opinions = some cool innovations.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Absolutely 💯

[@gran_turismo_fan]

This video really intrigued me, I enjoy custom toolboxes that were either custom built or mass made by the manufacturer. My father has a NHRA Gary Scelzi Matco toolbox that he bought in late 1999 for $6-7k back then by trading-in his used craftsman toolbox. Only 500 of those matco NHRA Gary Scelzi boxes were made.

[@shannonhinton4092]

Awesome video CP I really enjoyed seeing all those custom boxes and it honestly gave me some ideas that I would like to try!! Keep ‘em coming brother!👍

[@CPthetooladdict]

Thank you!!

[@1pieman]

I have seen some pretty cool homemade boxes wish we had camera phones back then NOT Lol I had a polaroid it was expensive cool video CP 👍👍

[@davies3171]

[@danielgeng2306]

This was inspiring.

[@harrydickson4575]

[@damiancobb8177]

I have a black proto box almost identical to the box at 3:34 and I welded a HF side chest to the side of it. Works great and looks factory

[@TylerSnyder305]

I wanted to mix n match drawers and other parts between my orange and green 5 drawer carts , but the small deep drawer from the green box would not fit.

[@darrenporsch]

My dad has my first toolbox ever. I made it in shop class in 7th or 8th grade.

[@robertraynes3229]

Too bad I missed the memo on the customs video. I'd send you some of my custom pieces from work. Great video

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again CP Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Nicely done, Brother.

[@johnharbaugh9471]

That's why they make 1" pneumatic, just saying.

[@welder062]

I have a blue 42 inch us general and also a 5 drawer tool cart. I think today I am going to combine them by adding the cart to the side of the 42 inch. I received the 42 and almost immediately regretted not purchasing at least the 52 inch version. I outgrew the 42 inch within a week. Lol... I went to harbor freight and the time frame to receive a 52 inch or a 72 inch is like 4 weeks now. Necessity breeds innovation...

[@CPthetooladdict]

Sounds great!

[@Cmtoolshow]

Awesome video!!

[@CPthetooladdict]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@benredmond8271]

Great video!

[@CPthetooladdict]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@agtech4580]

Cool video I don’t have any pics of the one I built back in the day but it worked out for me and then I decided I needed a Snapon box and ended up with less space at the end of the day

[@CPthetooladdict]

Dang that's not a good trade off lol

[@mlieser1230]

Great boxes. One of the best home built boxes I saw was made by Back in the Shop. He used some Lista cabinets and lockers that he mounted on a custom frame. He had it well organized with custom fabricated organizers. He needs a car trailer to move it. He also fabricated his own top side creeper. Really talented guy.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Thanks for the info!

[@billbeckett1021]

This is how I came across your channel! Been a friend ever since!

[@beasyphone]

Holy crap that cart is cool tho!

[@tonycroteau9264]

Great video CP👍

[@scottrath2996]

Like all the different ideas!!

[@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147]

Good video and very true

[@davidb.7223]

Love the innovation! Anticipating your next invention. Thanks for sharing.

[@CPthetooladdict]

You bet!

[@RandysWSG]

Great video! Aint nothing wrong with 2nd hand.

[@CPthetooladdict]

You got that right!

[@chryslertechnician3439]

Love the custom boxes

[@warrenblanchard889]

Great video as always brother much respect

[@CPthetooladdict]

Much appreciated

[@gregblau8082]

It's always cool to see stuff like this. I saw a video with a box similar to that black one and the guy had put a motor on it so he can move it around the shop with a remote control
