The Illustrated Toolbox

[Chief Brody]

No...Rod Steiger isn't in my toolbox...but I did get some stickers in the mail today...I think I like the stickers on the toolbox look...I've never known a mechanic that didn't have them and a pinup girl calendar in their garage....

Anyway...it begins with two stickers...the GUNK sticker actually has a clear background like it was meant for a window...

Stickers go on the tool box not the rig

This, by the by, is TOTALLY obscure. Took me some mad Googling (and Wikipedia-ing, which is more painful than it sounds) to discover that you're on about a movie made from Ray Bradbury's works, which is in my experience a bad thing. [Apparently the critics agreed in this case, anyway.]

LOL this popped up on the images on the top after I replied to this thread.

My rig is my tool box out on the trail, so I'll just leave this here.

Hard to see all the ones on mine, but it's just about covered now.

Glad somebody caught the "Illustrated Man" reference...weird movie...didn't know it was on DVD...may have to give it another look after nearly 40 years

I pull old emblems off trucks I cut up. Them I put magnetic tape on the back of them so they stick to my tool box, but are not permanent.

Got some more in the mail today

I prefer to keep my toolboxes clean. The stickers go on the icebox.

 

[Chief Brody]

WOW!

is that an old GE ?

 

[modernbeat]

Yep. GE. Just wish it was a frost-free unit. And it's got a few more layers of stickers on it now. The pic is sort of old.

One pic of my old red toolbox and one of new Harbor Freight special. Can't say enough about the HF toolbox. Thing is built like a square box and exceeded all my expectations.

Agree..stickers are for toolboxes and fridges and other items..not for the rigs.

I like this. I ran across the emblems from my first truck that i took off it before i sold them. Had a grin from ear to ear when i mounted them on my new box.

Well, combine the Truckin Magazine Silver Medal award it won and my personality and yes...I would say it is magnetic.

That award and .25 cents will get you a coffee at your local Waffle House
