Ambo Gut Project: Need Something?

[flightcancled]

As some of you may know, I will be gutting the box of an ambo this weekend. The owner has offered me the contents of the box in exchange for tearing it down to the frame.

In that spirit anything I don't need I am offering up for free as long as you pay shipping. This is ~3.5 hours away so if you'd like to chip in for my gas that would great greatly appreciated as well.

Pictures will go up tomorrow when I arrive. Anything you need just ask. If I can get it home and you pay to ship it it is yours. My only request is you follow up with a photo of the items installed or otherwise in use.

Any members who want something for their local volunteer organization is also welcome to ask for parts.

As I was getting ready this evening I realized I already have things from my build that need a new home.

An exterior area light.

Two small red lights:

4 sets of these seat belts

Some misc: wall mount psi gauge without face plate, oxygen wall unit, aux medical 12v wall unit, 12v light, and radio antenna cable.

Please post here for now. Once the weekend is over we can PM to sort out shipping.

Thanks! If you want something we have more work down the road from you and I can have my coworker bring it out.

I found it, thanks. I've been up all night 'shopping' for everything from winch bumpers to LED lighting to replacement dash boards. I guess it's time for a short nap and then back at it.

If you find anything "cool", make sure you post the link. Share the coolness. Hehe.

Finally made it in spite of a mass air sensor malfunction. Hopefully I can clear that up before I head back.

It's a road rescue here are some shots. Including awesome ceiling lights.

Box panel

An IV warmer....

Cab panel (probably keeping!)

And a headache

Dang, I want it all!

No, I won't be greedy, I'll wait until you see what you get and what everybody needs. Although, I am very interested in the ceiling lights, the box switch panels, and the relay/breaker panel especially if it can be removed intact. Electronics is a hobbie of mine, so pretty much anything electrical.

Alex, do you know what year it is, so I can see what kind of exterior lighting it has?

2(?) hours later


Lights are Whelen 9e according to the stickers. The clears are good to go, but all red lights were painted over.... Not sure where to get lenses for these. Photos tomorrow from the exterior.

Man, I wish I were there to help you tear that stuff out, but I'll help you out with your gas bill for sure. Since some of my stuff was removed (stolen) before I picked it up, I'm seeing all kinds of things I can use like that interior side door grab handle. I need some for the rear doors also.

If those are the Whelen 9E Halogen lights, I found a source for the lenses, but they're not cheap.

Since you're demolishing the walls and cabinets anyway, what's the chance of removing the rear box switch panels intact, along with the relay/breaker panel with the wiring between the two intact? If so, between that and the diagram I saw in your picture, it would be much easier to figure out what goes where.

 

[flightcancled]

The panel is intact with a super sweet disconnect system from the now wiring. Ceiling lights and harnesses are down as well. Photos to come.

I'm trying on the panel. It's not really something that wants to move intact

Wish I could be there!!!
Tearing it down should be a good learning experience.
When separating my box I was forced to cut a few wires blindly.

Enjoy.

Patoz go buy a lotto ticket!

The entire system is built into a tub which unscrewed intact without having to mess with it (too much) I've spent the last hour and a half pulling as much of the wiring out intact for you. Hopefully it wont take too much longer. Basically it's an ambo in a box...

I know these have already been mentioned, but....if anything changes on those switch panels, or ceiling lights, let me know. Swithces I could use to replace my box switches, which are pretty much unobtainium, and let me use them as backups for my cab swtiches.

Lights appear to be stand alone units, as in their covers are part of the light. My lights are mounted in the ceiling, but the covers are these long azz diffuser panels mountedd under them in slots and they rattle like hell driving down the road. Driving me (and my pups) nutters.

 

[flightcancled]

There's 17 in here. They have a wired mounting system I'll explain later. I cut out a trmplate to help with mounting


So the house battery and power lines meet here

A bit odd, but sorta cool.

Pouring rain here but I am nearly done. Crawling around right now before it turns into mud under the truck.

Is this just the box you are pulling parts from or the entire vehicle? What engine etc does it have? I would still like to run dual alternators (I have a 7.3) Sitting back wishing I could be there to help out as well. If there are spare switches I could probably use some but looks like everything is rather intact, hate to break it all up if someone needs the panel.
