“BUY IT NOW OR MAKE OFFER on this very rare US MAIL 1963 Studebaker Zip Van. Cool ratrod, restore, or fix the breaks and drive it around like it is. Would make a neat work van for a company who wants some cheep advertising. Just think of all the looks you will got. See pictures for details. Drove it to a friends shop when I purchased it. Needed break work done so I started into it only to find the wheel cylinders are rusted and the bleeders are broken off. Would make a cool one of a kind van to restore. How many have you seen? I posted a picture of one restored (last photo).
Clean Indiana Title. ..

In late 1963, it won another Government contract, this time for 4, 238 postal delivery vans for the U.S. Post Office. These postal vehicles, designated as model 8E5FC (FC for forward control), were called Zip-Vans in production, and were a very different job than assembling Army trucks. The Zip-Vans were a Studebaker design, and used the Studebaker Champ 6-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, frame, suspension, and steering components, and the Transtar instrument cluster. The bodies were built by Met-Pro of Lansdale, Pennsylvania. Because of the considerable truck division effort in their design and development, it’s probably a safe assumption that the company took considerable satisfaction in winning this particular contract.
