I posted this thread last year but never got a response but heres the story. In the mid 70s my Pop drove a truck down at the piers in Camden, NJ. In one of the storage yards was a unknown number of Broncos say at least a couple of hundred. The story went that they were built for overseas but where sent back for some unknown reason. Supposedly they were right hand drive. They sat there for at least 5 years and then where gone, we could never find anything out about buying one when they were there. I dont know if they were crushed or????

I dont know if they were crushed or????<br>

This thread is getting interesting, but the idea of those going to a crusher is real horrid.... I am still waiting to see a pic of an actual postal bronco....

O.K. guys the search is over- I actually own one of the elusive postal Broncos. It is right hand drive, with the rare Bill Stroppe mail package, which included a factory NP435 4 speed and the dealer installed Hi pinion D60 front axle. By the way, it has a HD 9 inch with FACTORY 31 spline rear axles, I swear....<br>And it will kick the tar out of any one of your silly poser Broncos, just come try me!<br><br>Sincerely, Bass A$$ Mike<br><br><br><br><br>P.S. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!
