If you don't take into account that the ambulance body has been chopped off it.

[aj.lec]

ok the front and chassis is pretty straight then

[aj.lec]

I emailed the owner and asked if he had or knew the where abouts of the original body
He bought as is and did not know where abouts

Like all of these ambulances this is a very late production vehicle and the front shell looks to be excellent. It also has some goodies like the bumper, overflow tank and horn and if it's like most ambulances would probably not have done a lot of miles either. Those would probably be the original tyres too.

The second one I have seen on some post-war repaints of vehicles. Bit fancy, eh?

It's obviously the one it wore when disposed of because it's been painted over.

Looks like a faded deep bronze green.

Must look it up next time I get a chance.

whoever bought the ambulance back a few weeks ago off ebay should have a go at this truck would be a very good pairing

Almost... the body was for a '42 Chev and was separate to the cab where this was the late pattern integral one only on a Ford.

[aj.lec]

That definately would be a problem then
Oh well at least im learning something.
Ill pick it up eventually

Found another thread from awhile ago that would suit better then if it was still available or where abouts known

Australian CMP Ambulance body
While visiting Wangaratta during the Corowa meet this year I was approached while parked in the main street by a gentleman who had a bit of CMP in his yard. We drove around to have a look and I believe that the remains are for the framework of a Ford 134 inch ambulance. The frame was once Canvas covered but this is all gone and just the steelwork remains in good restorable order.

If anyone has a serious restoration use for this send me a Private Mail and I will arrange contact.

it should look like (AWM photo) Ford F30 with intrical body.

[cliff]

Australian Pattern with it's seperate body. It was from one of these that the body for sale a few weeks ago came off.

[aj.lec]

Thanks cliff
I was trying to find a few pictures earlier to see the difference but to no avail

Reckon i might have a go at this as i can use some of the parts off it for my F15A as well as use the chassis along with my spare cabs for a bitza . Any one else interested in it ?

[hrpearce]

James, if you end up with a spare headlight ring see me at Corowa I plan to be there Friday - Sunday
No longer looking for headlight rings thanks to Bob and his contacts.

What about this one Plushy, even comes with extra kit in the rear?

Is that a bad case of tinworm I see on the front shell?

That could be a devaluing feature.

So, assuming it's low mileage, you're paying for a chassis, springs, axles, single speed transfer case and gearbox, steering box along with late production pattern front bumper and a few other goodies.

Hi Robert - check your PMs.

with that model if it is meant to be a ford model why does it have a chev overflow tank on it ?
Or do the oversea models have these on the fords too ?

The model pictured is an Italeri 1/35 scale "Chev" 15cwt so hence the overflow tank being Chev. Someone has either mixed up their makes or done a half baked conversion without using reference photos.
