[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 434249, member: 10234"] In my time at UPS (25 years driving), there wer 2 cars that I thought were great for rural delivery. The first was the old Ford p-5 (built in the late 70's I believe). With its' twin I-beam suspension in front you could drive down the bumpiest of roads at 60-70 mph and not even think about it. The second was one of the first p-7s. It was the Freightliner model. Pretty much comparable to the ford p-5 as far as suspension. Any other model or make of the p-7 had too stiff of a suspension to make it any good out in the sticks. BTW.......auto transmission? What the heck? Another lost art....shifting!! [/QUOTE]
