Going postal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well not really,

Is Ford still making the chassis for the USPS, I know that they were based on the Ranger platform.
Are any new units being made and what company provides the bodies?

There were some Windstars being used in the downtown area too.
I fact our Windstar kind of looks like one of them. Rubstrip has a red trim color and the pinstripes are blue.

So I guess we are going postal.

I thought the chassis was made by GM, They were built in Kettering,Oh. (Dayton Area), I think they still do, unless they stopped when the S-10 was stopped. Hauled many loads of tires for the S-10 series trucks years ago.
