White Us Mail Trucks

[RaleTheBlade]

Something Ive always wondered is who makes the little white United States Postal Service van/cars? You never see any badges on them, and I have never heard of who manufactures them. Theyre somewhat of an enigma, similar to the "big brown" UPS trucks

I have never heard who manufactures them either.....very interesting.

mercedes make the ups truck

Jeep made alot of the older ones, and some of them are still around but in this area the mail trucks we have look like miniature white UPS trucks, lol. They look like this:



Also, I had heard a company named Gunther(?) made the UPS trucks, though Im not really sure of the name. I had heard that the reason you never see badges on the UPS trucks is because the truck design is strictly created by UPS itself within its own company. Which could atone to the slightly different (or same) body styles for different countries. But then again, thats all I HEARD, Mercedes could actually be the manufacturer of them :P

those are the current mail trucks not old ones...

You guys still have those jeep mail trucks? Sweet, haha... we dont have them here. I guess we werent lucky enough though SOMETIMES you might get really lucky and see one cruising around, but its a rarety. I just called em "old" because the only ones around here are older model jeeps, mostly willy's from the WWII days

I believe Grumman, the same company that made F-14 Tomcats, make (made?) the U.S. postal trucks like the one pictured.

Ahhh... I gotcha, I thought it was a name like that. I wanna buy one sometime and take it to the drag strip, haha. Yeah, Im bored... though it would be kinda interesting but like school buses, Im sure they have top speed governors on them but still, lol
