What do you think about using these plastic storage boxes that fit on
a metal louvered panel in a van? Are they likley to fall off if I
drive over a pothole?


Not usually, but the contents are prone to bouncing out especially if
you fill them with small items like screws.

Can you take a middle box out without having to remove one above it?


Depends on how close together you fit them. They are not really
designed for individual boxes to be removed - more for the required
number of items to be taken out of the box on the rack.

You can often get the mounting plates and containers at low prices
second hand from warehouse fitting companies.
