Am restoring an M5/M9 combination vehicle and would like to complete it as an ambulance variant if I can find the information that I need. ANY help/info/sources/contacts much appreciated.

Robert,
If you ask for the sources check please the US Library of Congress. They have very nice pictorial of the Halftracks including also manufacturing lines. Check the neighbouring call numbers of the pics I posted, known also from previous posts but without their archival numbers. Many times this library has greater archive on the subject of one pic they show.
One very important thing however: If you are looking for the Haltrack ambulances in the US Library of Congress you have to use both "British English" and "American English" as well as various more or less correct wordings and names of these vehicles. You have to look for under the slogans such as: "Half-Track", "Halftrack", "Halftrac", "Half-Trac", "armored ambulance", "armoured ambulance", "armored ambulances", "armoured ambulances" etc.
