To add to what @Hopeless Diamond said... Make sure to check the INSIDE of the frame as best you can. Reach your fingers inside the factory holes on the frame, and see if you can feel any scale laying on the bottom inside. These tend to rust inside out.
OK thanks.. Yea I will prob end up doing it for sure but man is it worrisome having that big Ambo up on jack stands! Thats the thing giving me a little pause... well that and the financial aspect!
UGH! I have been debating doing the UJOR kit on my 96 E350 for a few weeks now... I would be doing it in my driveway also, how many hours do you think you have in it? Thanks for the write up
Got the backsplash finished up minus some trim... Also got both cushions for the bed/couch done and they are gonna work/look great! Interior is just about done. If i can find some nice days to paint the outside that will be next but we will see.
Haha Yea Im no pro tile man thats for sure, and I ran out of tile so its "mostly" done haha . I did not use grout given that it would most likely rattle to pieces over time. I went for a more "secure" option..... Liquid nails!
Thanks! So the 113k mileage on the 7.3. I picked it up for a good deal given it was soo clean. It has the typical 7.3 fuel leaks in the valley of the engine which I will address but other than that its solid! Im still debating on the UJOR.. Ill know more after the new year if I decide to do it..
I got the Whytner 47 installed today. I was initially going to install it in the cabinet on the right as you come in the side door, but i felt that would be better used as a closet. The Whyt now resides where the center side seat used to be... Perfect fit
Today I was able to paint the interior accent wall which is a nice blue. I also stained the birch wood bed and bench with a light gray stain. On the dark side of the wood it really brings out some rich character. On the light side of the wood its more of a gray tone which matches the floors...
Installed the shower today.. Rerouted the wiring for the VAC pump to power the Water pump. I have done this in the past and has worked well, given there is already a switch. Also painted the lenses black so the rig will pass VA inspection.
Well Im back in the ambo game! After a short hiatus to rescue some barn find Porsches and a lotus I have purchased a 1996 E350 2wd Wheeled Coach. I have never owned a 2wd Ambo and usually seek out 4wd units. BUT I have always wanted to do a UJOR build, and figured this would be a good...
Hey Patoz!
Yea based on the ambo i just got I am shying away from the minmod on a crew cab idea for now. I am either going to do a UJOR conversion or just do a sweet 2wd set up with a motorcycle on the back. Still not sure yet but this ambulance was so clean and a good deal I had to buy it!
