I spotted this on the Boston Craigslist. This is the first one I that have ever seen. Looks like it is missing some parts. The seller is asking $350.00.

Chris, 

Does your "Special Service Tool" have all of its parts?  

Also, please tell us more about this rare item. 

Thanks,

Steve

Ahhh, here we go.  Took me a while to find this thread.  

I actually have two dealer service tool boxes and a bunch of tools.  Neither of my boxes are complete.

 

Okay, dumb question, what are these tools for?

I'm a dummy too! duh...

Looks like transmission and bearing tools on my phone blow up?

Thanks for the link, Chris!

I have a parts catalog which lists 70 special service tools.  My catalog is from December 1973 but there are earlier issues of the massive three-ringed binder.  Kats has the earliest one I have seen.  The tools range from engine stands to drift pins; all sorts of tools for engine and transmission rebuilding.  One particularly interesting tool is a double pinned, hollow handle which takes off the the valance nut of the toggle switch on the dash.  There are gear pullers, ring compressors, valve cutting alignment tools... all sorts. 

The tool boxes came with a tool tray on a shelf, similar to any craftsman box.  I think Kats has a complete box.  Both of mine are missing the tray.
