I've seen a photo or two of early UPS trucks back in that time frame where they were still mostly in the west coast region. I don't know if that one would be the only remaining unit or not. They have a history of purchasing special made vehicles and maintaining them in house. UPS tends to use their equipment about as far as they will go before upgrading to the newer type delivery vans. It doesn't make sense to destroy assets like that when it wouldn't be too hard to repaint them to sell but they have every right to scrap them if they choose. The grape vine has UPS looking into electric delivery vehicles with some already in use in Europe. I guess then they can burn the damn things after they're used up.
