    The Lunchbox Build... 4x4 chevy shorty van

    This thing is awesome. More fab in 4 months than I've done in my life! I keep thinking of this Astro Van from the 1999 Four Wheeler Top Truck Competition. I think they were getting it to do a nose endo if it braked hard enough... Have fun!

    PROJECT: 1993 F350 4x4 Horton Ambulance-Camper conversion

    I've had good luck removing decals with a bunch of those plastic razor blades like you show in the pic. Having fresh ones helps a lot. They come in different colors for different hardness/stiffness of the plastic. My decals also had the retroreflective "metal" layer (which is really glass...

    This one has been posted in the PDX area for months. Price has been slowly dropping from $9000. Now it's at 3K! Might be worth just that in parts (newer engine, trans, solar parts, veggie oil conversion kit)? http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/5360688957.html "2000 E350 Ambulance...

    Converting Whelen 900s/Similar Scene lighting to LED?

    Good info there! Yeah, I don't need to blind everyone else camping, that's why I think a nice low glow might be ideal. Kind of like a truck with just marker/cab lights on. What I meant to say was "strobe style scene light LENSES", that is to say the kind shown in the chart above. I think the...

    Converting Whelen 900s/Similar Scene lighting to LED?

    I like the idea of using the existing wiring as it's already run. I've thought of adding relays where the strobe controller is. Apparently this is a common emergency vehicle upgrade practice when upgrading old strobe housings to newer LED housings. The LEDs just need constant current, as they've...

    Converting Whelen 900s/Similar Scene lighting to LED?

    So I was messing around with an extra 900 scene light and some LED strip lighting. I think the result is pretty good. I've got 4 900s down each side of the ambo, so I only really need 2 scene lights on each side. I'm replacing the reds with clear, and I think I'll add waterproof RGB LEDs to...

    My Adventure Ambulance - 1997 E350 Horton Mini Mod

    Ha, I used that 2x6 when I was short on time and trying to get out of town. I've since upgraded to a metal ramp from Harbor Freight. Nice thing is, once I trimmed it just a bit, it fits into the stretcher/backboard slot in the ambo! I'd like to add some utility track that I can mount a moto...
