https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/2008-chevrolet-c4500-4x4-diesel-ambulance-conversion.243172/#post-3158552 This should take you to the build thread I started. Carrying a MC inside would be possible but the spare carrier would need to come off (4 bolts). Thanks for the input and...

Archer!

Yes, it was the original ambulance switch panel in the cab 🙂

I think the airbags are fine, but I did get rid of the self leveling valves that are part of the air suspension. Those are fine for level roads and if you change the load frequently, but any articulation off road just causes them to open and close constantly trying to find level. Huge waste...

how goes your build? I'm selling mine, but I will always love kodiak/topkick rigs there's just something about the cab design that got me from the first time I saw the two rescue trucks at a nearby city wayyyy back in the 90's

nice clean install of the solar, if i keep mine that's the next thing along with AC. nice build

I don't think an ambulance/fire conversion is complete without electrical ... so here you go. disconnect the batteries, learn to use a multi-meter, hopefully get the schematics from the original upfitter, take your time and lots of notes, and dive in. As I posted above, I didn't rip it all...

maintenance is another big priority for me. Having driven emergency vehicles, I know one area that is abused is brakes so I went ahead and replaced everything at all four corners so I knew they were in 'like new' condition. This included new calipers, new rotors, new hubs (front), seals and...

like others, I gutted the box entirely but I didn't rip out the electrical. The electrical in these rigs is very high quality so I deconstructed it - removing circuits that would never be needed again while adding (or re-using) for my plans. On this note - take great notes along the way of...

I gutted the cab completely, other than the dashboard. I replaced a few trim panels with OEM replacements, put sound deadener all around and in the doors, and also extra insulation in the roof and doors for sound and heat. Reshaped, added the roof console, and recovered the headliner. Added...

Here's some of the exterior work, I added the nosecone to the box (for those wondering the truck averages 11.5-12 mpg diesel, has a PPEI econ tune loaded). It came with 19.5 wheels, now on Stazworks 20" and Continental MPT81 335/80r20 with matching spare (poison spyder carrier). I patched the...

Hello all, I've been working on this truck since I bought it several years ago. At the time I had started a build thread but later deleted it however I'm going to try and put one together now in case it helps anyone and (spoiler) I'll be putting it up for sale now that it's 'done' (okay, so...

Nice, GLWTS

technically in washington state i think we're supposed to get an inspection showing that there's a restroom, heat, maybe a kitchen of some sort, to register as an RV. funny when i got mine i thought i needed a DOT number to enable me to register it in WA as a commercial vehicle, then once i...
