As most of you know 60’s don’t really have a place to safely stash tools and extras. No trunk but it is a wagon after all so I don’t expect one. So what I did was create a secure place to keep my tools and a bunch of other stuff. The frame work is steel and there is a provision for locking it up. Not only does it keep things secure but it also prevents them from flying around on the trail. There is also more than one way into this box. If for some reason I cannot open my tailgate for access, there is a large hatch on top that is removable. The top is stout enough to keep using it for even more storage and I can attach tie downs to it anywhere I feel like drilling a hole.
And by covering the entire back of the rig I created a place to put my fridge that doesn’t interfere with tool access. It also created a secure and dry place for my air compressor along with all the air lines that accompany this thing.
For those trips without the kids I have a platform that fills the space when the back seat is down creating one large flat area that the spouse and I could sleep if needed. When the rig is set up this way I have some foam padding that covers the entire back of the rig. And even more storage is created under this platform on top of the folded down seat.
