  • 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

      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 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.

    How was the steering? Last week you repacked the wheel bearings so I was just wondering how it felt.

    • @Modeltshinn
      @Modeltshinn  ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    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.

    • @Modeltshinn
      @Modeltshinn  ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    • @dougbrowning82

      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.
