A few accessories and modifications have been added during the restoration process. They include front and rear turn signals, Remund Electronic Ignition, full flow oil filter, the front license plate attachment which reads "U. S. Mail Watch for Stops". Only the best quality parts were used for this restoration. The body was reconstructed
of new oak, ash and spruce as detailed out in the original specifications
for bid issued by the Post Office Department. Even the U. S. Mail lettering
was painstakingly reproduced in its original color scheme. The rear sides
of the truck depict the two most popular recruiting posters for Army and
Navy. |
