that's really really weird. Okay. So I'm in again. It did take me a couple of bids, so we'll see.
There was another auction for some Nissan tools that I picked up earlier: 272197596761
Not sure which ones were in the tool box originally. Does anyone know?

Re: Tool box
**WARNING- Very detailed, and almost totally useless information about the Nissan Patrol toolbox follows. DON'T read on, unless you REALLY like Nissan tool box related trivia 
**
This Ebay tool box is an original 1969-1980 style box- There were two styles of toolbox that came with the 60 Patrol. The early style toolbox had large squares embossed into the sides and the lid (see the black and white photo below), while the later style did not have these squares. All original Nissan toolboxes came with the Nissan logo pressed into the lid.
Here are some photos of the early-style (1960-1968) tool kit's contents: Courtesy of RiverPatrol:
and some photos of the early style tool kit that I lifted from some ancient magazine articles:
