Because you’re weird like that, it’s what I like about you. Also included is part of a very long infographic detailing their history that describes the crucible the USPS put these puppies through before pulling the trigger on almost 100,000 of them.

I’ve seen a few on Craigslist. So very tempting to get one and autoX it.

We had one at work and had some students test the mileage. 8 MPG was what they got. They are unbelievably thirsty.

They are pretty sucked out at this point. But yeah, reengining is an option we were looking at the last place I worked. This is one place where regenerative braking/hybrid or diesel makes oodles of sense.

yeah it seems the current truck is working fine and can last forver. but an iron duke motor and 3 speed trans doesnt make much sense to me.

Not when they could have had the turboed 3800 from the Grand National. Probably would get better mileage and think of the YouTube videos.
