Manual Color Green/Black Interior Color Black The Post Office Department developed a complete set of plans and specifications for the mail trucks. Ford was awarded the contract for the building the chassis. The body was procured separately by the Post Office and mounted to the Ford chassis in several regional Post Office garages.This was the origin of the Ford Mail Trucks. This truck was built by Ford in late 1931 and is mounted on a standard 103 ½” wheelbase Model-A chassis. There were 550 of these 100-cubic foot capacity bodies made for the U.S. Government in 1931 and 1932. The body was constructed of wood with steel bracing. The 1931 Mail Truck has a body and cowl finished in special Post Office Department olive green. The hood and radiator shell are black. The truck was sent to the Dallas, Texas Post Office where it was issued the Post Office Number of 11649. It was used by the Dallas Post Office until some time in 1954, when all Model-A trucks were replaced with new International trucks. At that time it was sold at auction. It was used by an independent rural postal delivery for two years, and then it sat unused until 1991. It was in the process of restoration from 1991 to 1994. The restoration included a complete mechanical rebuild as a complete new wood body made to the original post office drawings. The truck has been to one show where the judges were sanctioned by the Model-A Ford Club of America and won a first place. At the high country tour in Colorado, the truck drove over Freemont Pass (11,541 feet), Loveland Pass (11,992 feet) and Hoosier Pass (11,381 feet). It is a fun vehicle to drive and goes very well.
