They’re simplicity. It’s a Ford F150 chassis. No AC. Pro tip - government vehicles are very well maintained. It’s in the budget- no money out of your pocket. Struts? Take it to the shop. Transmission, brakes, tires, etc? Shop. 6 month oil changes and tire rotation.

LLV’s (Long Life Vehicles) were produced in 1984 and 1994. That’s it. Those postal trucks you see are 30 years old.

I have nowhere to park it but I’d rent a storage unit if I could get one. My wife would kill me.
