I finally found the next project, a 1990 type 1 ambulance based on a Chevy truck k3500 chassis. The rub is that it is a TBI Chevy 454, backed by a th400 transmission. I'm sure this combination gets horrific gas mileage, however it's a four-wheel drive stock, and the underside is rust free which is an absolute commodity in Maine! It has this Nifty long door we're normally something would slide in under the gurney, which will make a great slide out kitchen as well! Has anyone had any experience with the Chevy Chassis cab this is built on? I wonder about the durability of ball joints and tie rods... And whether I will be able to tolerate the mileage this will produce. I see a Cummins swap in the near future, to a p pump 12 valve if the combination is unable to attain 10 MPG.
