Clever. I’d not considered mouthing the ambulance switches to the factory console / cup-holder, I’ll keep it on

Sometimes I’d like a backup alarm, and mine was badly corroded and not working. So I Decided to pick up a used replacement when I saw it. After swapping it for one just like it, I also wired up the trigger wire for my second backup camera. Now when I throw it into reverse the display on the...

A year or so back there was a member who raised the roof a couple feet and also did a cab over section. I’ll have a look to see if I can spot it. It was also listed in the Vans for sale thread. It was painted grey if that helps.

Absolutely no way in an E-series van... everything on them is like pulling teeth without freezing. Keep them coming.

I’ve seriously considered one of those. You’re going to have to let us know how it works out. I guess you’re also going to need on-board air. I started with a 12v compressor. When it’s 5/8” steel shaft sheared off i decided to switch to 120. The smaller Makita compressor easily runs off the...

Facebook How to have an ambulance without any insurance hassle. Ready for a cutaway chasis.

v I’m not sure if it’s because it’s a different brand or if because mine is more broken in, but I’ve found my fan only draws 5-6 amps It is interesting to know that there’s so much to gain by adding resistance. Stock E-series Heaters have a block with 3-4 resistors toallow the fan speeds. I...

I’d want to paint the 9x9 vent to make it disappear. I can give you the colour match coding from the can of paint I had made... but the colour could be a bit

I hear you about being busy, I admire the progress some make in a short time... both my Ambo build and my Fj40 build are slow and carefully done. I’m always trying to plan twice as much, and Build once. I don’t have the time, energy, or budget to redo projects. Therefore I plan, search for the...

Cool... it’s good to know it can be done. Mine would be a step more difficult since it doesn’t have power windows. ;)

I’ve been thinking the same thing, but wanted to bounce it off someone else to be sure I wasn’t overlooking something. I really like how easily this one deploys without support poles... although it is a manual crank using a pole. Perhaps I’ll change that at some point with an old wiper motor or...

For a step, consider the building code for stairs, we are used to 7” high steps... and will be caught off guard and stumble on a stair that’s much higher than that.

Now that you have the awning installed, do you have any thoughts on the ideal width? Especially since You’ve got to lot more time camping in a crestline than anyone else I know. The reason I’m asking is that I have a manual, self supporting, awning that came on mine when I bought it. The tarp...

I recognize the beast of an alternator your rig has ;) Back to the OP: I borrowed a set of OEM water pump wrenches from the local auto parts store. They worked perfectly. I had them back, after removing the clutch and reinstalling a new one, before the ink was dry on the paperwork. BTW, I...

I now understand why you’re going the route you are. I’ve had people comment on what a great bush beater my ‘74 Fj40 would make. After building a new floor, frame replacement, V8 engine conversion, transmission & T-case replacement/rebuild, FF rear end, 4 wheel disc brake conversion, On-board...

Quality control fail. :D

I’m surprised the hassle. I hope it doesn’t come to selling yours. Buyers will hit the same roadblocks, which could impact your resale. Id not want a truck instead... even though working on one is easier.

c :eek: it’ll be a Challenge to re-enforce the A pillar there. I’m sorry to see it’s got so bad. im going to add limiter straps, and repair the cracks in my door where the hinges mount. ive also considered Modifying the hinges so they have a larger mounting surface.

That makes me want to buy a light bar for the front... if only I had a need. :(
