Old UPS Van For Sale On Ebay

[oldrps]

I thought all UPS vans were scrapped when UPS was finished with them. I didn't believe this was authentic until I saw the faint old UPS logo and the faint "United Parcel Service" text on the side of it. Was there a time when UPS sold their old vehicles?

I'm pretty sure that's the vehicle @rod drove right before he retired.

Its probably in better condition than what @1BROWNWRENCH has to keep in service.

That looks like what I drove during peak. Actually if the doors close, it's in better shape.

Isn't that what they call "housing" in Kentucky?

If you look closely, you can see the redtag is crossed out and it says "Scheduled for service, OK to drive".

"Must be trailered. No keys."

Lol.

Yep key and tumbler set and she'll be ready to go!

I drove one of those until they retired it to be an Irregs car.

Makes you wonder what it was like delivering in good old 1955.

They still had a couple of those around when I started. Only used as last resort spares because they were on their last legs. One did hang around for years as a shop truck but the rest got scrapped.

I put many miles on them bitches. That's the kind of truck I was just about thrown out of before UPS was forced to put seatbelts in them. That tray up front would hold your next dozen or so stops. That thing should be put in a museum.

i wonder how many miles

Considering we still had some in the late '70s and early '80s, I don't have to imagine.

 

[sailfish]

What a heap.

I drive a 1966 for a couple years in the 80s looked just like that one
Thing ran like a raped ape

Getting it slowed down was an experience in itself

I remember the State Patrol pulling up beside me flashing 5 fingers twice ... I can't drive 55.

You sure it is not the one they gave road tests for potential new drivers until a few years ago?
