    he stopped for a bit...shortly after I contacted him he responded:

    "Hello,

    Due to demand, we have decided to sell the awnings again. They are back on our site.

    Got a bunch accomplished today. Took a single 90lb box full of spare parts and fluids and split them up so they were a bit more managable and organized. Re-purposed a Pelican 1750 for the spare parts. I cleaned it up, a new seal was added to it, (thanks @PS78 ) and I sourced new foam on Amazon for $40. The foam fit perfectly. So no need to spend $150 on actual Pelican foam.

    Cleaned up the box

    As I cleaned I discovered some paint was covering up original numbers from the military. Thought it was interesting so I will leave them now.
    20170729_113555.jpg
    Foam went in great.
    20170729_122437.jpg
    Next I laid out the parts and traced them for cutting.
    20170729_123146.jpg
    20170729_125251.jpg
    Cutting was easy with an electric carving knife.
    20170729_130341.jpg
    And the finished product!
    20170729_131349.jpg

    I still have a few more parts to pick up and cut into the foam but I am happy with the cost and how it turned.

    So then I re-purposed a smaller rubbermaid box I have for the fluids. I need to add to my supply but this box will work perfectly. Added a universal water/dust seal to the top to keep things in good order in the bed of the truck.

    Stuff. Also things.
    I'm nearly positive that I know who at least one of those cases belonged to. The Ft. Carson reference would corroborate that.

    i believe you may be right. I got both cases on CL a while back, great price too. The seller was out of the country at the time i bought them
