I wasn't trying to mount a cargo box in my scenario...

If you want a cargo box, it should have wheels under it as God intended, be very short in the wheelbase dept., & also be nearly impossible (due to the short wheelbase) to maneuver in reverse...

A "ricer wing" is optional, for additional style points...
