Yes, the Garden Grove picture. I think there is one from Westminster also, I came from so cal
Thank you for the photos, they all help.

Found these online today.. I'm thinking I may go with the U.S. Mail theme on one of mine.
This one is from the Smithsonian.

That bike just talks! It's saying, "I was worked hard, and put away wet"! Look at the stretched chain falling off the bottom of the sprocket. I would like to know the actual mileage on that Truck? I bet the bike has been through 20 pairs of pedals. Notice the return spring on the center stand. It was just a screen door spring added by the Post Office to modify the normal Schwinn stand fender clip.

That's the paint colors and graphic's that I remember on the Cycle Trucks used in the Phoenix, AZ area during the 1960's and 1970's.

No reason that could not be replicated with a nicely prep'd and painted example. Just put the U.S.P.O. DEPT. name on straight on your show bike.

Good job finding that photo.

Would something like this reduce the noise and rattling of my drop stand when riding? I can't sneak up on anyone haha

Moral of the post spunds like to me dont post a bike you restored unless your one of the designated experts …… or at least dont make any comments about it ……. my theroy has always been you could buy a bike anyway you wanted it the guy at the shop would put racing tires on your autocycle deluxe if thats what you wanted so what if you restore a bike to the tune of music you like ….. just reserve your bragging rights to the ignorant admirer and forget about posting on the CABE
