If anyone has photos of period correct equipment for a 1964 Combination would you post them here please? Specifically first aid kits, O2 and related supplies, etc.
Thanks.

That's always one thing that bugged me, now don't get me wrong, I love looking (at) combo's, ambulances and funeral coaches. But I'm left wondering what's inside of it.. I don't know if I can be of much help, but I have dedicated my time and cash into the equipment of the pre-EMS era. I want a car, someday, but the stuff inside will do fine for now..
Anyhow, I have a text book from 1964, it appears to be for "Rescuemen". That's what I am, more of a rescue oriented and educated person, than a firefighter. All of the images, only show what's inside the ambulances. I'm seeing Lytport II's, the 40's E&J units, physician's bags with unitized first aid packages; and large 36 unit first aid kits. Like mining or utility companies would have used, such as MSA.
The basic equipment seems to be; 2 folding stretchers, a main stretcher, a two cylinder oxygen unit w/ two spares, a 36 unit type first aid kit, blankets, board splints, sterile sheets - I have some 1970's packaged sterile sheets, an OB kit w/ contents listed on the page, and rescue tools. I'll scan the pages if you'd like, and post links to the images tomorrow evening. I'm going to the NJ First Aid Council Convention tomorrow, and the PL Custom factory, so I should probably get some sleep. I hear the factory has a couple vintage ambulances, which is the only reason I agreed to go.
