I just purchased a used 2003 Ford E450 Ambulance. 7.3 diesel with only 49,000 miles on it. The current wheels are 16" rims and a tire size of 225/75R16 I don't plan on converting it to 4x4 anytime soon but I would like the largest tires that will fit. I run 245/75R16's on my standard Ford E250...

I'll be taking my 2004 AWD Chevy Express 1500 5.3 L to the beach next weekend and I'm a little worried. How does AWD do in deep beach sand? I'll air down to about 15 psi and makes sure I have some tow straps ready and maybe even take a friend and his big 4x4 pickup.... If it turns out the...

She's no beauty queen but should be a great utilitarian work-truck/family vacation/surf fishing/bug-out mobile. The Ford E-250 in the photo is also mine, it's been to Moab, Johnson Valley (King of the Hammers), Colorado, Maine - great North Woods, Florida etc... I picked Old Blue up last year...

I've got a "new-to-me" 2004 Chevy Express AWD that I'm starting to tinker with and I'm wondering how much difference rotating mass/unsprung weight really makes. I know it's important for race cars, but does it make any noticeable difference in our lumbering behemoths? tirerack.com allows you...

I just purchased the lowest priced ever 2004 Chevy Express AWD at an auction. It needs a new front windshield, rear view mirrors and a new transmission but everything else seems solid. My plans for it are to be a go-nearly anywhere family vacation vehicle. I live three miles from East...

I've got an older 1997 Ford E250 with rear drum brakes and I'm wondering if it's worth the time and effort to find a newer axle with disk brakes at a salvage yard and update to disk. My current axle is a Dana 60HD 4.10 35 spline with C Clips and drum brakes. I've got the sad little...

I did a quick search of the forums and did not find an answer to my question (I probably looked in the wrong place or used the wrong search term) Can someone point me to a few good threads that cover this subject? I'm considering building a camper from scratch to mount on the back of a FUSO...

I realize I'm posting in the Heavy Japanese Truck section but there does not seem to be an area devoted to other cab-over based Expedition Campers. All I seem to find are FUSO and NPR on this site. Is there a reason people are not doing more camper builds on any of the following platforms...

Since I don't have an ambulance of my own yet all I can do is live vicariously through photos of yours. Post 'em if ya got 'em.

I'm looking for input from anyone, What are the advantages of the 7.3 ambulance over the standard E350 extended cargo van. My guess is primarily extra space. Does anyone have interior dimensions for the short wheelbase ambulance? What are the disadvantages of going with the ambulance over the...

I've been lurking for a couple of months and finally joined the forum today. I started building a 4x4 E250 van after a recent trip to Moab Utah. I've got the 2002 ford F350 front end complete, I'm working on building custom bumpers today and next week I'll be installing a new Sterling 10.5...
