Hi David,
Thanks for your response.So the British WD number for the ambulances started with just an A followed by the number?Is the half round shroud that runs vertical part of a heater vent?I have seen pictures of them but don't know what they are for.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the info.I knew something was funny about that setup.It wasn't a 30 cwt because of the 20' wheels and there is no listing I could find of the ambulance box mounted on a 60 cwt short,just the long wheelbase 3 tons.That sure looks like a nice box.Did he have to reskin the box or was it in that good a shape.Mine will have to be reskinned as it is rotten at the bottom,there are tears in the metal sheeting and someone lifted the box off by throwing chains through the side windows and bending the hell out of the window openings and the frames as well.One window frame is missing altogether.I will try and reproduce a new frame by possibly using old windshield frames from cmp's.I don't think I will find any original frames to replace them with.





Isn't it nice to see pictures with grass and not SNOW!Waiting patiently for summer so I can start on the sandblasting!
Derk.
