Puts us all to shame... makes me want to crawl under mine with a needle scaler. 200 hours later I could hit it with come paint and it’d be half as clean as that one.

Makes sense to me… I’ve go an Fj40 to take me anywhere my 2wd dually Ambo can’t. Even in 2wd it’ll go further than most lifted and locked full-size rigs can go.

Great to see you’re back up and running. I’d love to have a shop like yours… there’s no way my rig will fit under my 7’ door.

Thanks... it's pretty surreal. I’m trying to focus on those images from my trip… rather than the afternoon, which I don’t have pictures of. These photos were as I shot them, in a compressed format, and then downsized. I still have the Raw images that are roughly 30 mb each and have even more...

Sam Splints aren’t something I’ve seen before. They look useful. Similar in function to low temperature thermoplastics for splinting… just without the need for boiling water. I never had a tourniquet in my kit… all the triangular bandages are pre folded to be about 2” wide. If needed I’d use...

Especially driving an ambulance, and having 90% of a paramedic’s training I hate to not have a kit with me. When I took my Industrial First Aid course I didn’t have any first aid kit to speak of. One night at 1:30 am I got a call from a class mate in the first aide course. She’d been drinking...

I’d fabricate them far before I’d pay $1000 for a steel plate and some brackets. Having seen pictures of the mounts I don’t see them taking more than a day to make. I’d rather fabricate them just the way I want rather than spend a grand on something I could make in an afternoon.

Purdy, you’ll be out seeing the sights in no time.

That looks like a great axle. Disc brakes and 4.56 gears… you should be set now. I checked your numbers and got the same… so either we are both wrong or your calculations are correct.

An afternoon job at the side of road while traveling, or how long now? I’m all for not going down the rabbit hole… but every time I see oil on the front of my SBC I wonder if I should have used the last 2 gaskets in the rebuild gasket kit when I replaced the others. I don’t loose any sleep over...

Tough break! As disappointing as it is, you and the rig will live on to have many great adventures. The day will come when you’ll look back and see it was merely a small pothole in the road. I’m glad you weren’t in some distant corner of the world when it happened. That reminds me, I have only...

My $0.02 1) If you have a side rack, you’ll have to be aware of maximum vehicle width for roadways. I believe the max here is 8’6” without special transport permits. I’m not sure how wide your box is, but for comparison sake I’ve got an 88” wide box with Dusllies that stick out about 5” on each...

The quick answer is that you can. I'd recommend using an alternator that will more than meet your needs. You'll never regret having a higher output alternator... but you will regret not having enough. Upgrading to an ambulance alternator is a common upgrade for those with a regular alternator...

On days like today, I especially miss my bike... in 2002, I was taken off it, it flipped end over end & spun around a couple of times, and I cartwheeled after it bounced off my legs. That's why I drive a 40 with an SBC,1/2 doors, no roof, and a full cage rather than a motorcycle.

He was last seen here June 2019… I’d not hold your breath waiting for a reply… unfortunately. Need more Ambo info.

Crestline ambulance boxes are sold mounted. Based on memory it is mounted using 1/2” aluminum plates welded to the bottom of the Aluminum cage/box. Solid mounts using 5/8” bolts or something similar. The box essentially has no flex, and I’m sure it stiffens up the e350 frame.

Can’t find any gap measurements… stock loaded coil height was 12.5”… after upgrading to 880s Moog progressive coils 13.5”. 7.3 psd ambulance package.

@iggi I’d guess he’s meaning gap between I-beam and bump stop. If so, tire size and other modifications become irrelevant.
