Head over to the maple leaf up forum. It is mainly dedicated to Canadian/ commonwealth vehicles. If you have the CAR number (85-xxxxx) you can probably get some information there. Some of the members are able to check current databases to find things such as where it was based and where it was...
Nice! That looks pretty solid. What kind of shape is it in mechanically?
Are you planning on restoring it or do you have other plans? I’m curious how it ended up in the UK.
Hi Ben,
Welcome and let’s see some more pictures of your ambulance!
Not sure if it’s a typo or not, but your truck is actually an M43. Can’t really offer much advice on the litter racks, but if you take a look over on g741.org you might find something.
Good luck!
Ok well lets see if this works. I found a couple pictures of the M38 from about 10 years ago, not the best quality pictures though..

Both trucks belonged to my father and were used on the farm where I grew up, so...
Looks like a good truck to start with! Doesn’t appear to have a lot of rust and looks pretty complete. It has an odd spare tire mount though. I guess someone needed extra space in the bed at some point.
What are your plans for it? You mentioned a restomod.

Rob
Hi,
Most of the hardware is all fine thread, with some exceptions. If you find yourself a parts manual, it is pretty good at listing most nuts bolts etc.
You will find that not everything is listed, but between the parts manual and the service manuals 98% is covered.
