a coupleears ago now i purchased a WC54 ambulance from Ray edsall. i have finally begun stripping it down for a full ground up restoration.
so far i have had the chassi and axles striped down blasted and painted. new suspension bushes/pins, brakes are currently being done and just waiting on parts to arrive from vintage powerwagons to start rebuilding the front and rear diffs. new bar tread tires arrived earlier this year from the states.
plan to have it back on it's wheels in the not too distant future and begin work on the running gear.
i've had the chassis number checked out with the chrysler museum and they tell me this ambo is one of a contract of only 410 ordered and built early in 1942. i have also managed to uncover the original numbers painted on the body.
