I seem to be on a socket set binge. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Since getting more and more involved with working on my 1972 truck, I have had this desire to buy vintage tools. I now have two SK 3/8" sets, one Stanley 1/2" set, one Proto 1/2" set, and one SK 1/2" set. I have breaker bars also (all matching the maker) for each 1/2" set as well.

My goal is to have a decent set of tools to put into my car, truck, and garage so when I need one (ex: junkyard visit) I won't have to move any tools around.

What about you guys, are you vintage metal box types or are you cool with whatever good deal on tools you come across?
