- Yes, I used to be a mail delivery person for about 8 months, it’s a tough job that demands you to deliver more mail and packages in a short day than possible, so I had to drive the mail truck like I stole it!
Not this 1929 Ford Model A mail truck though, I drove it with major respect and caution!
Let me tell you, there’s a huge difference in the way the new mail trucks and the 1929 Model A mail truck drive and feel!
@ModelA helped me video the experience !
Well done Model T! I’m not surprised at your ability to do this, and I also admire it. I’m a little jealous too. Thanks for sharing ~ Chuck
Thank you for your kind words 💗
You all just have too much fun!!!!
You did great Tina.
Thank you Bob 💗
GOOD JOB! I think it would be SO COOL to have a Model A Mail truck deliver mail to my house!
Ya!! Super cool!
Well done Model T❣️
Thank you so much Bill 💗
Very nice! Looks like you enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing the experience with us.
Thank you Jim! Have a great week 💗
I am very proud of you. Congrats
Awe thank you! 💗
OK thats it! I just gotta have a mail truck.. God bless you guys
lol, yahoo!! God bless you also 💗
Hey, that was great. I'm glad to see Model T got to drive the mail truck. Great video. I don't know if I could get Model B to drive my roadster. Nice job Model T.
Thank you for the nice message Mike! I hope you can get Model B to drive also! 🥳
Super good. I was beginning to wonder if you ever drove the cars. Looks like fun to me.
Thanks! Yes, not as often as I should, Paul does most of the driving, if I have my own I’d drive more often. Yes, they are mine with Paul, but Paul has high standards and I don’t want something to happen on my watch 😂 I’d personally like a rustic Model A 💗
I'm gonna Post a comment...
Post Haste... After I eat my Post cereal. Very cool that you got to drive the truck. I'll take your word about seven tooth steering boxes.
You crack me up! Ya, the mail truck is fun to drive but 7 tooth has too much play, it felt weird lol
I'm going to farm out my labor to get working experience with the club member's cars. Meeting is tomorrow evening. I have yet to drive one! Every opportunity I've had the weather has fought me! Nobody wants to allow someone drive their pride and joy in the rain. I can't say that I blame them.
Rainy weather. Ugh.
@@williamforbes5826 I hope the rain stops for a bit then 💕
Normally it is fairly dry during the winter in Florida. The rainy season is summer. You see, I don't mind the cold or the rain. But cold and rain? Pneumonia weather. Later! Back to the salt mines ⚒️⛏️⚒️⛏️
Handled it like an old pro!
Thanks 💕
Will make a great daily driver!
Lol, I don’t know about that 🤣💕
That looked like fun to me, congrats on the experience and the driving of the old Model A mail truck! Have a wonderful day.👋
Thank you, have a great week! 💗
How was the steering? Last week you repacked the wheel bearings so I was just wondering how it felt.
Hi! Well, no wobble or anything, the only thing that I didn’t care for is that there’s so much play in the steering, it was like steering a big boat on the water lol
It seemed big in the video, must have been a handful!
It is really big
An experience of a lifetime
Hello Tina - could you show Paul how to enable automatic closed captioning when he uploads a video, like all of your videos have? I know I'm not the only deaf person who would like to know what he is saying... thanks.
Sorry, I’ve looked at Paul’s and not sure how to fix it. I did mine that way from when I signed up that I wanted it. I’ll look into it more on his and see if I can figure it out. Take care 💕
By the look on your face --- I think you were having too much fun --- Whether it's a New or an Old truck ---- seven tooth or two --- Paul was telling you --- it DEMANDS a lot of you attention -------- To me the FUN was out weighing the part of you giving your oath to deliver the mail in a timely manner --- and what did I see ----- A lady whizzing right by the Mailboxes --- laughing and giggling as she sailed on by ----- then on top of that --- her husband told her to GET OUT --- so he could load it onto a trailer for a quick getaway ------ we will have to wait to see if this Dual gets caught or not! ------- Enjoyed your video ---- Rodney
😂 you’re awesome!! Thanks for the fun message 💕
Congratulations, I'm sure you were nervous.
Yes a little nervous, such a fun vehicle but I know there’s not many and I don’t want to mess it up 💗💕
A Model T is Driveing a Model A. cool
💗have an awesome week!
I can’t believe my eyes 🙈😳😎
😂💕💗
At least it wasn't a Model T truck...
Would it be different with some wait in the back?
Hi! Well I don’t think so, it’s already so heavy all on it’s own. Have a great week 💕
“New” mail trucks all seem to be 30 years old.
I agree lol
If they're 30 years old, they must be Grumman LLVs, purpose built on a Chevy S-10 chassis from 1988-1999. These were succeeded from 1999-2021 by the Utilimaster FFV, on a Ford Explorer chassis. New postal vans will be Oshgosh NGDVs, based on the Ford Transit.
@@dougbrowning82 hey, from what I remember I believe you are correct!
@@Modeltshinn And it's come full circle. Ford is back making chassis for USPS delivery vans.
AA or A truck?
Not AA, it is a Model A truck. Have a great week! 💕
I N V U
lol, for 2 weeks I’ve looked at your message wondering what the letters stood for…I’m cracking up with Paul right now because I asked him what he thought they might stand for and as I said them…oh!!!!!! 😂 I’m really really tired lately. Have a great week!
