LittleDoggie Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Been around trucks for many years, always wanted one, but never owned one myself. Finally bought a chunk of land in the north and decided to buy a retired postal cxn612 when they liquidated them. Lurked for a while here, learned a bunch already. Thanks for all the info so far. The new rubber on it alone was worth about 1/2 of my investment price, so couldn’t beat the deal. Not pretty, but she runs with only a few issues so far. If anyone knows where to find info on those “quirky postal specs”, I’d always appreciate more info. They built ‘em a little strange.

I don't know much about postal specs I have a CH 612 myself it's a good truck. What are you planning on doing with it? Using it as a farm truck. Haul equipment and supplies to and from the farm. Seems everything is just odd on it - but it works. For example has 2 key switches semi-in series, one with a key under the dash and one that’s just a lever on the column. So you turn one to run, turn the other to run, then crank the first one to start. There’s also a key fob that can be involved in that process. I can’t imagine what function that would serve except just to befuddle people who haven’t seen it before.

alex g Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Second key could be anti theft system. Not sure on the key fob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66579-bought-my-first-truck-cxn612/#findComment-472898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
