The LLV was up-sized from its predecessor. Now they are doing that again. Didn't the USPS have Vespa/Piaggio sized 3-wheelers?

The thing I miss most in this example is the Grumman 3-piece windshield. I'd make the center piece a hexagon, with simple-curved glass. I do like those forward-reaching mirrors.

There are more (more or less interesting) proposals here: https://www.trucks.com/2016/10/21/ne...truck-visions/. The Tesla X (with tentacle) and Mercedes Vision Van.

They could cryonically temper those old aluminum bodies, or they could make new ones out of carbon fiber like they do whole airplane wings for (probably) less.
