From your prospective, I can see the issues with major changes (life, eh?).<br />BarryBarry (the Carguy) Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466068688127118144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61758793263095969.post-4546112082475019512015-01-10T10:03:28.975-08:002015-01-10T10:03:28.975-08:00Hi Barry. Glad your surgery went well. I just had ...Hi Barry. Glad your surgery went well. I just had a session with the knife gang but am back to work with the same (low) enthusiasm I had before. <br /><br />This topic is very interesting; I well remember the converted station wagons, suburbans and vans over the years. Our car club has been restoring a '48 Chrysler ambulance that is based on a limo chassis/body with one removable post. It's been quite a project to say the least. <br /><br />My work place maintains (2) fleets of emergency vehicles which both include at least (8) typical I-ton ambulances. I don't know if production will discontinue anytime soon as there are (4) new ones that we recently completed inspections on, and the battalion commander told me that they're replacing the remaining units over the next few years. I have to shudder to think of the possibility of MBs replacing them; not because of the vehicles themselves, but because of the additional tooling we'll have to get.George Stringamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375285536941813368noreply@blogger.com
