There's manual P500's at Integrad.
I talked to my mechanic the other night. He said UPS could no longer get parts for the old manual transmission/steering trucks, and as they broke down they would be crunched if no parts were on hand.All of our new package cars are automatics but it will be a long time (decades) before all of our manual shift cars are phased out.

Also, the P57 " ambulance" style trucks, with the Sprinter front end and box truck rear, would be next. I would work for free that day if they would let me destroy them.
Not for a whole lot longer.Well,....... they keep fixing mine.
Never saw a P57 "ambulance" style package car. My building earlier this year crushed the last of our manual shift non power steering P800. Did not care for the 3 foot first step up, but they were great in the snow.I talked to my mechanic the other night.

Most guys in my center can't drive stick. I grew up on a farm it was the only thing I learned on.
When my daughter turned 14 and earned her drivers permit we would take my 5 speed Ford Ranger and drive the gravel roads north of town. Never was very good but I bet she could drive a package car. The biggest problem is getting used to the size of the vehicle.Can't even go to driving school here if you can't drive a stick... the road test.
Unfortunately; my father made me learn on a stick early on...

That's funny, I learned in a 1977 B210! A tank of gas would last two weeks in that thing. My dad had it for a while and put an 8 track in it.My Grandma taught me to drive stick in her 1972 Datsun B210. I later bought it from her. I loved that rust bucket.
