Redantt Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Looking to meet other Dodge Fageol mail truck owners in the effort to help each other with the restoration project of these old vehicles. I myself have always enjoyed odd utility vehicles and some how I ended up collection unique postal vehicles. The Dodge Fageol is one of them. I believe there was a contract for 3000 of them but only 800 or so got produced do to financial issues. Love to hear what other enthusiasts know about these little monsters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 There is an old post about them. Never saw one or heard of it. Certainly unique! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redantt Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Oh wow yeah that’s a pretty old post but great info in it. I wish mine were in the condition of his but life has taken a beating on them. They are funky little rides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I've seen them referred-to as Dodge Route Vans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redantt Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Yea I have as well. There isn’t a wealth of info on them and I think people don’t know what to official call them so they get associated with dodge route vans. The Route Vans were a bit bigger in size but had a somewhat similar appearance. The postal vehicles are much smaller in size. I’ve heard Pony express as well but just another generic name for postal vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3macboys Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 From my piles of manuals here's what Dodge called them. Not a lot of illustrations in it from what I recall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redantt Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Ya Jack that one has been around forever. Use to be 65k and now is at 27k. I think the way it was built made it tough to sell for her 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to read in to that more. It’s hard to get pics to the model numbers and I know they had different postal set ups. I’ll have to reference years to the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
