Thanks for the photos Jazzbo. The Ambulance is now a cargo body (flat bed with swing up sides). Folks turn the ambulances into overland adventure vehicles. It had a 40 thousand BTU furnace in the back with room for four stretchers and jump seats for two. The cargo body is a little more practical than the ambulance (which came equipped with the complete interior including stretcher racks sitting in the weeds to the right). Its rated for about 40" of water depth for fording. For some reason I expect the 4 K committee might frown on my using this as my standard vehicle for judging where a hike should start
. There is an importer in Effingham NH so there are several of them that I know about in NH. The cargo body is the last series that didnt have electronics in it which makes it more practical to fix. Sadly its too wide to be allowed into Baxter. The Special Emplacement Excavator (SEE) is US army surplus, they ordered 2000 plus from Mercedes through their Freightliner division to fight a ground war in Europe against the USSR, by the time they got delivered and sent out to the troops the Soviet Union was gone. They mostly sat in storage for 25 years, this one had 430 hours on the engine and 400 miles on the odometer. The hours and miles are probably mostly from periodic operational testing.
Sadly I ran out of VFTT stickers so I cant put one on them so someone recognizes it in parking lot.
