does anyone know if these vehicles are available to be purchased by private parties, used or new, and are they permitted to be licensed for ordinary use, as a truck or utility vehicle? while they appear to be a bit under-powered, it seems to me that they would be kind of neat vehicles to use for, say, camping/recreation, as well as by tradespeople in the course of doing their daily tasks. also, while it may seem to be an example of the 'stupid question', are right-hand vehicles legal/permitted to be registered and driven here in the u.s. of a.? thanks for the opportunity to ask these questions.

   I delivery a riral route for a living and need to know about LLVs...the amount of mail has become so great that an ordinary vehicle will not hold all the mail and packages...especially around holidays.  I need some information desperately or I'll have to find a new career.   The Post Office doesn't seem to give a rat's ass about it's carriers!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure all the LLV's that are still usable, are probably being used by the USPS -- they are after all, Long Life Vehicles. They want to get as much out of them as they possibly can -- as for the rural carrier with the weirdly formatted comment, I'm also a rural carrier, we're being issued LLV's in my area. And anyhow, if you are using your own vehicle, you're supposed to supply a vehicle that's capable of carrying the normal amount of mail. Yeah, I've done 2 trips many times the week before xmas, that's just how it is for a rural carrier in their own vehicle. --Kvuo (talk) 06:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Carson City

Wonder why they'd take a picture of one of these contraptions in Carson City? Not really too rural there, everything's paved and connected by good roads. All the way to Dayton, nice drive, wouldn't even spin your wheels accidentally in gravel. So, as an example of where a rural route is, Carson City isn't it. Back in the old days a postal carrier could use his own car for work, didn't have to use an unsafe postal vehicle. They're such roll over problems, they shouldn't be used for rural routes, anyway.

What on earth is this article about? Why would Grumman make a mail truck? The article makes no sense whatsoever.--76.244.162.255 (talk) 06:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
