Haha, I appreciate the offer, but I think i'll stick with the old oilburner for now ;) I wouldn't be able to afford gas with a 460 in this pig.

Thanks for the info! At idle it hovers around the 1K mark, so that makes me feel like the sensors not off. I'm only noticing these downshifts when going up larger southern Indiana hills. I do like to go into the mountains, so I might have to just get used to its higher revs or install an...

Yep, mine is the good ole 7.3 IDI non turbo. I'm not sure if the speedo went goofy or not. The engine was screaming when it would downshift and hit 4K on the tach. I'll look in to those parts. Honestly, this truck is now 25 years old and at least the last 10 years it was only occasionally...

Totally agree. Again, that's why I'm doing research plus asking for opinions here. This is my first time owning a dually, so just trying to get some feedback. I got a quote today for $1300 on six new Mastercraft Courser ATX today, so as soon as the my wife's maternity leave is over in August...

I had to drive home yesterday to take my mother to a doctors appointment, which granted me a little bit of time with the Ambo. There's definitely some mechanical bugs to work out, but it's been sitting in a barn for the last 4 years and only driven in yearly parades prior to that. There's been...

Thanks! I'll try to keep this updated. I currently have a build thread going in the Domestic Full Size section as it tends to get better traction.

I'm not sure, that's how it was when I bought it. The airhorns are the only thing that I could see that was ever bolted to it. I've only ever seen one other F350 ambo with said extensions. I'm getting a custom bumper fab'd up for a winch.

Took the bumper extensions off today. I think it looks 100% better up front.

First things first. Finally got around to buying new batteries today. Picked up 2x new Interstate MT7 AGM 770CCA bats for the truck and dropped them off with my dad. He's planning on driving it around for a few days and then hopefully I can drive down next weekend and bring it home.

Any recommendation for ambulance batteries? I'm in need of a new pair for my 1991 F350 Type 1. Does battery matter or will any battery meeting F350 specs do the job? Thanks

1991 F350 Wheeled Coach Type 1 Here's my 91' F350 Wheeled Coach Type 1 walkthrough. It's got the 7.3 IDI, currently 2WD.

PM sent. I'm interested in details and pics if available.

Dude, thanks for the all the info! Much appreciated. Cost isn't so much an issue. I'll be hauling my wife and kids in this, so the best way is more important. My initial plans were to buy a donor truck and swap things over, preferably a single cab dually.

I have this posted in the camper van section as well, but this might be a little more fitting here since it is a truck. Here's my 1991 F350 Wheeled Coach Type 1 Ambulance that I picked up in January. I plan to convert this into our camping/expo rig for future trips and leave my Tundra at...

I purchased this thing in January (2016) right after discovering my father in law had been storing this for a church buddy for the last three years. I still don't know a lot about the ambulance world yet, but I plan on digging into this bad boy as soon as I can get it home (currently stored at...

Those tractions boards are the Maxsa boards from Amazon. We had a few recoveries that were made possible due to these boards. Adam can probably chime in better on durability, but I personally didn't see any damage to the boards like broken lugs or cracks. I'd say they are well worth the money...

Great event. The lasts night camp was one of the better ones that I've been at. Looking forward to the next event.

I know this is a total newb question, so I apologize ahead of time. I have a 1966 M416 trailer that I'm currently in the tear down process. I'm pulling this behind my 2016 Toyota Tundra and would like the wheels/tires to match my truck. I've finally found a set of matching wheels and tires on...

That's pretty ************! Would be sweet to have one of those as a secondary tank as well.

Well, the only thing done this week to the truck was get the insurance taken care of, front windows tinted to match the rears, and got my Weathertech mats in. Other than that, I've put almost 500 miles on it and have greatly enjoyed every one :) I've got a couple of quotes for rock sliders...
