Kitchen patrol box Mounted

[Dan & Julie CO]

I have seen a post here a while back regarding patrol box plans.
The plans in question are a version that mounts top and folds down to the side
of tow vehicle. I think they may have been vintage I can't find the plans or the Post
Anybody?

Somthing like this ?

If that wasn't mounted permanently it looks like once that was filled you would need a forklift to hang it there.

Not mounted permnetly is is held in place with boat table bracket's and a strap over the trailer.

It wieghs about 100lbs loaded . The wife and myself each take a side and set it in place.

Works great for us. We carry it in the truck when traveling.

Not Bad, but the one I had seen in pictures was stored away top and you would pull out and fold down
It was maybe 8 to ten inches deep in thickness and something like 54 x 48 wide and tall.
Articulating kind of like an attic fold down ladder ? really unique. If I remember right I was a vintage Plans that would work on a station wagon or truck camper shell
can't find them again, Maybe it was popular mechanics Issued Not sure. neat design though

It's cool looking at that old magazine with all the old ads (Shclitz big gulp) and the Smokey Yunick editorial provides an insight into the mind of a true mechanical genius (I'm a big fan of Smokey), but could you give a page number of the article you mentioned.

I skimmed thru the first dozen pages or so, and the table of contents, and didn't find it.

It worked for me.
I clicked on the link and it took me right to page 111.

After I saw the OP's first post, I did a lot of searching the web (though I never found the Popular Science link), and got quite a few ideas for my galley.I like the organization and ingenuity of the roof-top box, but don't need it for my build. However, as an avid reader of PS (and Popular Mechanics, in my youth) I read the entire issue cover-to-cover, including the ads and 90% of the classified section at the end. Brought back memories of the way it was, and the way I wish it still was, when American industry and ingenuity was all we needed (or wanted). I saw only a few mentions of foreign products, like VW, Sunbeam, Hillman, Cuprinol, and Sony, but I never saw the offshore drift , and downward spiral ,IMO, that was to come. Who knew? But the article on automation did have ominous overtones.
