Thought it was one of those ones that I saw at Christmas, solid stainless about 8' tall, had a fridge built into one end and a microwave in the other. Might have had a Murphy bed in the back, I don't know, it was long enough. Looked like it should have had a tow bar built in to move it. What HE paid for it and what it's really worth may be far apart, too. Stan |

I have seen some special addition versions that size sell for $5k to $6, new off the truck. But that seems high. |

$10,000.00 Tool Box
This reminds me of the time I had taken the transmission into the shop and
they had estimated $2k for the overhaul. As money was tight, I asked them how many hours I could save if I did the R&R myself. I think it was something on the order of 8 or 9 hours so I opted to do the R&R and after they had the box in the shop for a week I got a call and they said that the job was a little more involved than they had anticipated, so they had to up the estimate back to $2k. I told them to keep the job on hold until I could see what they were talking about, and when I arrived the mechanic that had the box apart goes into his sales pitch about how bad all of these parts were. While he was talking I noted a Snap-On tool box that was 8 feet long and had a full length work bench, overhead bins and built in filing cabinets. I had received a bit of double-speak when I had asked questions like "What is the wear specification for that part?", so when it came to decision time, I opted to spend $450 at a dismantlers place and the trans has been in use for over 180k miles with no further problems.
