A Duramax has popped up. Black and nice, but not cheap.

My good friend in NYC has a Duramax GMC van and loves it. It's wicked fast too!

2007 Duramax/Allison ambu with 61,000 miles for $18,000 USD (in Edmonton)
This looks like a terrific price for a low mileage Duramax/Allison van:
http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/...ress-ambulance-6-6l-duramax-diesel/1245403793
Does anyone know if there are shops that will lift and install heavy duty suspensions and rear lockers in these? I don't think I really need 4WD, but I need clearance and the ability to drive on rough roads for many miles. As I look around on the used market, these ambulances are priced much more attractively than most personal vans. And I assume they have been well maintained. Thoughts?

Weldtech Designs would be my first call. They do a lot of 2WD as well as Chevy.

I was checking out this dealers listings last week as they seem to have a few. The only thing that I noticed with the ambulances that I have looked into in western Canada is that most have REALLY high mileage or the lower mileage ones seem to be priced to capitalize on the medical accessories. That being said trying to find a newer van with a raised roof in western Canada is almost impossible so maybe buying a lot of medical equipment is the way to go. There are a number of specialty shops that could do what you want, we have a mechanic locally that would do this with no problem so it should not be that hard to find a few to give you a quote.
What's the rust situation on this thing? I assume that if you've looked, you've checked that out, too. Thanks!

It's clean for sure, but it's not there right now. Don't know if it sold.

Is it a roof top tent, or a poptop?
