ABSTRACT:
A rural mailbox and post assembly enabling the front end of the mailbox to be pulled forward and up to or inside a window of a motor vehicle for retrieval of the mail. The post is made up of upper and lower portions, pivotally joined so that the upper portion may be pulled forward around a pivot pin at the top of the lower portion, which is affixed to the ground or a base. Biasing means such as a spring is provided to maintain the upper post and attached box in upright position until pulled forward. When the box is released, the spring urges the box back into upright position. A handle at the front of the box enables it to be grasped and pulled from within the vehicle.
