I'm not supposed to be doing any work just yet they still have me on 10 lb restrictions so to keep from going crazy I'm puttering around on the Stoner. I decided to put the lights on and free up some shelf space. here we are one done 3 more to go.

then there were two. we'll make a ambulance out of this hunting rig yet. all the wiring is still up there now it it's only connected to something. we had a busy day here took time to check out the wild flowers across the road add the other tunnel light and got the 92 lined up. that way we could go elk hunting you want to follow along the pictures are here http://www.dropshots.com/jer57747#date/2013-06-20/07:23:24 there is a reason I drive a pickup. I hate to look up into there eyes

Beautiful

I really need to do a road trip up there. The countryside looks quite nice. Totally different from SOuth Louisiana. Thanks for the great shots and glad to see you progressing well.
 
got it all most looking like a ambulance now. we will make the 184 into a D so we can get it into the garage. darn High tops anyway. the last shot is the 70 of McDonalds and the light I made up.

That ambulance is looking better all the time! I hope to get over your way one of these years, you have beautiful scenery and some cool animals to look at.
 
Lurking!

Hi Bill!! I got pretty sick back in 2007 and had to sell my cars due to financial issues, but I've tried to keep up with the website. Been feeling great for a few years, and now I'm slowly saving bucks to try and pick up an ambulance or combo hopefully in the not too distant future. I miss having a car way more than I can express, but there may be light at the end of the tunnel before long. Wish I had a car for the Milwaukee meet, but I don't.t think that's gonna happen. But if I can be careful with my pennies, and maybe trade off some of the ambulance equipment I have, I think we just might pull it off. THanks for asking,great to hear from you!
 
Various stuff

I have a few backboards, some loose supplies, a working orange box, not sure on that one yet, a couple of more modern basic ventilators that would be in a later ambulance,late nineties and beyond, some bp cuff stuff, boxes of disposable gloves, a few trauma bags, straps, and I have one or two old cots, I believe model 30s, and I have to check what else.

Dibs on the orange box!:)
 
Solutions, solutions. . . .

Weeeeelllllllll, since the orange box would look so good in a red or white ambulance, an ambulance could come and live here and you could play with the orange box anytime you wanted!(Don't call Vista for a radio check though. They will answer. Scared the daylights out of me).;):D
 
now then Bill I know Bruce told me he was running out of room. maybe he would let you store one or two at your place just to give him more room.
 
wired the ditch lights in yesterday. finding wires and fishing that one from the rear is not fun with the headliner in place. they waded a lot of itchy stuff up there. now this truck was retired all the ambulance and warning devices were striped it been sold twice in two states. used as a hunting fishing rig for at lst 15 years. but I know what radio ad siren were in it found the key numbers and these in the glove box.
