In the early 90s I and a few friends bought usps mail jeeps that were right hand drive when these LLVs were being phased in and the old jeeps decommissioned. They were sold at auction for about 200-400 dollars depending on condition. We had a lot of fun with them and even flipped one on its side accidentally. After righting the jeep manually (three teenagers worth of effort) it drove as usual. Memories!

My father was a rural route carrier for 35 years and had to use his own vehicles. He was able to purchase one of these privately for his Appalachian route. It was recognizable and everyone knew the mailman was in the holler when he drove up. Because it was privately owned, when there was no mail in the truck before his shifts, he took us to school every morning in the back of it. In the older trucks, the wheel welds made perfect seats for kids. Yes, we heard all kinds of things from the kids at school. Such as we were the mailman's kids. We were delivered "special delivery". We were a "fragile cargo", etc. I love being a mailman's daughter. I have a lot of special memories associated with the truck. I have thought about buying one over the years, and who knows I may end up with one of my own someday.

Yeah the driver seat is on the right side. I always thought that's because they can put the mail in the mailbox without getting out of the truck.

[@BillC518]

Yes, that is the reason for right hand drive, to make it easier to reach out to, and put mail into, roadside mailboxes while traveling in the direction of the rest of the traffic. The belts helped with this too. If the shoulder belt limited your reach, you could disconnect it from the lap belt, and still be wearing the lap belt, but have more upper body range of motion.

Wow, didn't even know the LLV was based on the 1982 Chevy S10 Blazer chassis! The 4 cylinder S10 engine has such a unique sound, I'm able to recognize it even if I hear it drive by in my house! I've always wondered what kind of truck chassis this vehicle was based off of and what engine it had, now I know! Thank you so much for this awesome review! Did the 2.5L 4 cylinders in the earlier versions have a turbo? I remember one of the LLV's I used to hear when I was younger had a much louder engine/exhaust sound than the one that comes by now (think it's a later model). I might need to follow and film the mailman making his rounds through my neighborhood sometime!

[@SaleProofCarReviews]

Thank you and it was my pleasure to film! To my knowledge the 2.5L in the LLV did not have any sort of forced induction, I could be wrong though.

Neither the Iron Duke, nor the later 2.2 liter, had a turbocharger. Both were normally aspirated. Yes, the combination of the Iron Duke and the exhaust system used produced a distinct sound. I drive one of these every Sunday for USPS while delivering Amazon packages.

Great review, really enjoyed it! Thanks for no music, what a joy.

But its an interesting vehicle and would make a cheap and compact moving truck for hauling stuff from Home Depot to house or moving furniture, etc. Loved your review. Couple of things: Speak slowly, don't race. Say less. This is a volley of words and most are unnecessary. Your speech has some areas of improvement. Don't end on a question note - this is what kids do today and it is annoying to hear. Sometimes you also end sentences on a robotic low tone. Just end normally. Since you do a lot of presenting, this will help you. Try Toastmasters for practice. I joined them and they are wonderful at making you aware of your own speech habits, perfect for those that need to fine tune their presentation skills.

I want one of these so damn bad. I so badly want to shove a boosted Nissan SR20DE/T. Sub 3,000lbs weight, rear-wheel drive, AND right hand drive. I NEED ITTTT

[@johnnysilva_rds]

Can I register one in California??

[@SaleProofCarReviews]

Possibly! This one is registered as a Chevy S-10 in Washington, and we don't have emissions testing

[@veulmet]

So they took out the table and pur another seat in the front.

I want one so bad now! Put in a 6-speed automatic transmission and turn it into a delivery vehicle 🚜. That would make the drivability better and increase the gas mileage by quite a bit I'm betting.

I drove these trucks from '88-'15 and Jeeps and K-cars for 3 yrs. prior to the LLV. The milage was/is south of 10 mpg. Rattletraps, awful in snow, the drive wheel is on the right side where the snow is the deepest. The blind spot, on the left side, is big enough to park a semi in. I guess the design was the results were a necessary evil.
