I have a van body on my 5/4 ton. I have seen an ambulance body on the loose but it has disappeared from the farmyard it was in. In fact, I was intently looking for it when I met up with a VIA train. But thats another story.
There were a lot of changes over the 5/4 ton's long service life. The factory brown mats were stripped out, floors painted in a special paint, and thin black rubber mats put in. Seats also changed from the two buckets over to a single bench seat as required. The SMP light switch Terry talked about did not control all the lights: The commercial light switch remained on the dash and controlled the interior lights under the dash. No dome lights on 5/4 tons.
Nice thing about the 5/4 ton is that body parts are still super cheap. Chevy made millions of this type truck with great interchangeability over a lot of years. The aftermarket suppliers are even remaking the plastic grills and the doeskin dashes.
