Hey guys, picked up an E450 PL Custom a few weeks ago. As I remove ambulance related stuff (inside and out), what is worth trying to sell? Some of this stuff you'll see on ebay and CL, just curious if it's worth the time trying to sell. I have limited space to store.
Thanks!
First thing you do is send me a PM with a list of what you have, so I can have first choice! :coffeedrink: What year is it, and do you have any pictures yet?
To answer your question, yes everything has value, but only to someone who has a need for these particular items. It also depends on your location and what shipping would cost.
Most City and County EMS Services use new parts due to liability problems, but some smaller private organizations may utilize used parts anyway. Most of the ambulance owners on here are doing the same thing you are, and don't have a use for the items you will be removing. In my case, I'm a retired District Fire Chief/EMT and I'm keeping mine pretty much looking like an ambulance, so I'm always looking for things like LED lighting, especially the clear scene lights, aluminum and chrome trim, I need a new rear bumper, etc.
You didn't ask for it, but my only advise to you at this point is don't be in too big of a rush to start ripping things out and cutting holes in it. Read as much as you can on here about the other builds people have done, and think things through very carefully. Don't forget about future modifications or upgrades either. Once you have determined your needs and have a working plan, at least in your head, then start modifying it. I know you said storage space was very limited, but a lot of those pieces you will be removing such as cabinet sections, doors, trim pieces, etc. can be used later on and they are hard to find elsewhere.
Good luck and let's hear from you!
