Post 1974 models:
1975: four wheel postal wagon/brake van, not cataloged until 1977. New SW4(B) body mold version cataloged as 3019N (New) from 1977 to 1979, when the catalog number reverted back to 3019. Embossed 3019 ID until about 1985. Body is similar to the earlier versions of the 3019, except rear side windows moved forward, abutting sliding side doors. False side door added next to this window on each side. Raised plaques appear higher with decal letter drop on side replacing embossed letter drop drop and curled bugle on earlier 3019. KPEV eagle decal on raised plaque above white letter drop. White heat stamped "LGB" and "3019N" on sliding door until 1979, when N suffix was dropped. Later versions have "LGB" decal, rather than heat stamped "LGB". All yellow frames except end door are painted yellow. "Post" in yellow on black plaque above false side door. 3031 tailights on nonplatform end. Additional markings appear on later versions. Beginning in 1979, metal 3019/1 wheels added and the car became fully functioning current collector with lighting sockets for coach lighting. Probably the first LGB item to use contact strips so that the roof could be removed without removing the lighting kit. Medium arched MA2 roof. Filigree roof supports.
