$22,000 OBO
For sale is a 1999 F-350 4WD Ambulance 7.3 Powerstroke that has been extensively modded for cross country travel. It has been used for the past 3 years as a storm chasing vehicle, and specifically designed as a mobile command center for flying UAVs.

Year: 1999
Make: Ford
Model: F-350 CC
Miles: 280,000
Motor: 7.3 Powerstroke (Straight pipe with Donaldson air filter)
Location: Marietta, GA



This vehicle began its life as a South Georgia ambulance. It was retired in 2017 and purchased by me to begin the build. There are so many things list with this build, but I will hit on the big points:

Exterior/Functionality:

-06 F-350 Dana 60 (4.10) front axle swap with coils and Fox 2.0 shocks
-Dual Fox 2.0 BDS steering stabilizer
-Vision 181 19.5" commercial wheels
-285/70r19.5 Michelin XDE (95% tread)
-Trail Fab front bumper
- 2008 mirror conversion
-Raptor Liner bed lined exterior
-Dual Mechman Alternators
-6.0 Transcooler with gauge
-52" Front LED light bar
-52" Rear LED light bar
-2 4" LED pods per side on the rear (4 total)
-14 LED programmable strobes
-PA/Siren Combo
-CB Radio

Interior:

-Completely remodeled interior with rubber floor matting and marine grade carpet with insulated walls
-420 Amp hour house battery bank with Blue Sea ACR
-4000W inverter
-RED/WHITE Led interior lighting
-10" Sub w/ Amp
-4 6"x9" Kicker ceiling speakers
-Red Dot Rear HVAC Unit
-Husky toolbox
-Wooden top workbench
-82" bench seating that slides out and becomes a bed
-Microwave
-Antenna mast with coax cables for long range UAV system
-Switch panel for all lighting (strobes, exterior and interior lighting)

Things that can be addressed:

-Belt screeches on start up with dual alternator setup (may need a new tensioner or 0.5" shorter belt under stock)
-Some of the strobe wiring needs to be inspected as some of the strobes are not synced (ground connections need to be loctite)
-ABS light comes on from the 06 axle being installed (does not affect driveability)
This truck is not perfect, but is a great foundation for an adventure truck, mobile workshop, or public safety vehicle. The truck runs and drives great (no check engine lights).

I have full records of the truck since it was purchased as an ambulance in 1999. All major issues were addressed during its time as an ambulance, and has made several cross country trips to Tornado Alley in the past few years with no mechanical issues. The truck has a clean Georgia title and is ready for adventure.

I am selling this truck in order to put efforts and finances towards a newer Super Duty for a disaster relief ministry I am a part of.
Asking $22,000 OBO. NO TRADES. Send me an offer, the worst I can say is no! I will try to answer any questions as best as possible!

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about the rig for those who are curious:

The rear HVAC is 12V and does not run off of the inverter. Therefore the truck needs to be running in order to heat and cool. The unit uses coolant and freon from the engine compartment.

It does not have a tow hitch, but I purchased a universal receiver to eventually weld under the rear bumper. If time allows, I will fab some brackets for the reciever. The receiver is included with the truck regardless.

If there are any other questions don't hesitate to reach out!

Interior Box Dimensions:

L = 137" W = 88" H = 65"

No excessive blow by. About normal for every 7.3 I've been around.

Hooked it up to a scanner last week to monitor vitals and everything seems to be in with in spec (boost is a little over 15 psi WOT). Thank you for asking!

What does it weigh and what is the gvwr on the door jamb?

I haven't weighed it since the mods have been completed. I will try to do that soon, and update the thread. I have attached a photo of the door jam sticker. The GVWR is 12,500lbs. When I first purchased the vehicle it weighed 9,969lbs. That was 2wd, stock wheels and tires, and all of the original 0.75" thick wooden furniture.
