The body at one point was lifted off by throwing chains through the window openings and in doing so damaged all of the window frames and glass frames so I would need to find straight window glass frames for the front window and both side windows. The rear door window frames are ok.

The interior ceiling dome light housings are there but I need to find the 2 lenses. In the drawings they look like they have squared edges. I'm also missing the water tank, ceiling fan and the lower half of the 2 plasma bottle storage rack.

All of the rear interior and exterior door handles are missing and the side tool box doors are either missing or have broken padlock hardware. I have a photo of one side that has an original padlock hasp that is broken to see what I am looking for.

A few other items I need to find are the 2 operating arm crank handles to raise the stretcher racks up, the front panel of the interior heater housing and the folding rear steps.
I'm also looking for the blackout side curtains for the interior windows. The part numbers for those are listed in the parts list in my photo's.
Thank you for any help with parts for my project.
Regards,Derk

Hey Derk.

Curious as to what the original interior colour was for these ambulance bodies.
