Frame, running gear is S-10...
Bodyman put the body on hs daughter's jeep and switched it to left hand drive. -
There was a show I was watching years ago where some guy had modified one with three electric motors to prove that they could be fast. Unfortunately I didn't think it was implemented well, but the proof of concept was established in my mind. He painted it black or something and named it "Going Postal"
I can't find any links to it though
EDIT: Found one

i was thinking not too long ago, how an LLV would make a great drag week car. Lots of room, we already know how to swap a turbo LS into an S-10 chassis, it would be easy to build a cage, etc.

These guys did it in miniature. Been quiet for a couple of years. Last I saw they were building a companion mini dragster.

Hate to postal geek out on you, but Dub's photo is of a Grumman Long Life Vehicle (LLV) and the photo above is of an AM General Jeep DJ-5 . . .Originally posted by SuperBuickGuy View Postproblem solved

Those run the iron duke "F" block, The same block as the 84-88 Fiero. And Pontiac 6000. The s-10 iron duke and most of the other front drive cars from g.m. used a different block.
You could drop a Pontiac super duty 4 in one and have an ill handling, crap braking 350 h/p monster. with just a bolt in engine swap.

Well now is the time to grab one, as the USPS is phasing them out of the fleets. I'd think they go really cheap at auctions.
