Now that I've got the laptop fired up, it isn't as much of a big deal. On a desktop?

One of these days, I'll scan in the pic of the van I learned to drive in: 73 Dodge with a MB camper top on it. Only one ever made.

+1...

There's something fishy with that van... never heard of a transmission to be replaced that early... Tempting might be, but I'd walk away unless having plans to rebuilt a lot of it.

Never knew about that concept, cool van... For some reason it reminds of the Gaz vans, or derivates, of similar era, or maybe newer? They look awful, but it's amazing how those vans crawl and crawl and crawl their way out of anything and everything. Shifting gears in those was a fight in itself, steering as well- good times

Go big or go home. FC 170 vans.

"Forward Control Jeeps were popular as fire and rescue vehicles in countries including Australia, Switzerland and the U.S., but for some reason FC ambulance conversions were less common. The only ones civilian examples we have run across are this "ambulanse" and another FC-170 van conversion as seen in The Jeep in Sweden by Stig Edqvist."
(from here, http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3b/fire...mbulances.html)

Or a little smaller.



They're out there somewhere....
