What are these items?
I am not sure of these items that are part of the truck.The bracket welded above the drivers side windshield frame on the roof panel,the 2 loop brackets that are bolted beside the hangers for the windscreen bag(which I am looking for the stowage bag!)and There is a shadow behind the passengers headspace on the back roof panel,was there a crash pad originally glued there.The manual shows a crash pad above the crews head on the top.Did they have them also behind their heads?

Looks like a nice starting point, and quite rust-free, too!
Good luck with your project & keep us posted.

Congrats Dirk...
You finally got your 134" chassis for the ambulance body. Fellow MLU'ers, keep your eye on this restoration. Dirk is a big time Prairie Command member and the kit he has for this restoration will blow you away when he is done. I might suggest Beltring quality. Great pics. Cheers Rob
Sorry to put the pressure on you Dirk.

You're making me blush.I hope I can keep up with the standards as I am among serious professional restorers here,I do appreciate the help and guidance I am getting here on MLU. This truck is the 158 1/2'' wheel base F60,George isn't ready to sell his F30 cwt yet and I couldn't wait any longer! Derk.

Vehicle Markings.
The truck has these markings on it.The bridge class is 9 but when I put my ambulance body on it would the bridge class stay the same or is it heavier and require a higher bridge class number?The windshield glass gave me the year of the truck that had 1-44 and some other info in black ink.The formation sign shadow was still on the passenger side nose but could not recover a number or a division color.There was no marks on the drivers side of the nose.

Ambulance body.
Guys,
I am on a roll with the pictures so will continue with the Ambulance body that will be going onto the truck.The body will need alot of sheet metal work but the stretcher racks are in there,blanket lockers,lights but I have to find the water tank that bolts to the top of the locker and a stewart warner 978 heater in 6 volt.I just realized I have to take pictures of the interior but here is a shot of the outside and 2 shots of the data plates.
