Thank you for the kind words. That is my intention as well. Eventually I'll get a mannequin and have it set up as a patient on one of the stretchers.

Left Side, lower compartment, was primary storage for Immediate Trauma/Splinting Needs. Here we stored our Traction Splints, Spare Cervical Collars, our K.E.D. (kendrick Extrication Device, spinal immobilizer) and M-5 Medical Bags with our smaller splints, plus Ace Bandages, Roller Gauze, Ice...

Here's some picts of the med kits and supplies going in. 1st on the left side of the ambulance: Primary Airway supplies bag, 1 litter hanging, 1 litter open with Portable Oxygen system and 2 blankets. We generally used one blanket to pad the litter or cover the patient. The 2nd blanket would be...

And VERY nice work on the driver's compartment. Looks complete and ready to go into service.

dmetalmike.... Coachworks or Wheeled Coach? Wheeled Coach and Frazier the two "primary" manufacturers of Box Units like that. Wheeled Coach also did/does High Top vans along with Braun. However, there are/have been many others, then and now. "Air Things" and suckers should be 2 different things...

Noooooo problem. Got a nephew at UTMB SA..... Medicine sorta runs in the family. But he is the "black sheep" of the family. Wants to be a Cutter (surgeon) instead of Internal Medicine like his brothers.

I'll call you if I need my guts pinched although the distance from Spring to Spring Branch might make that my last call. Not a problem, but I can make some referrals to someone at Spring Branch Memorial, or Memorial City Herman, to speed things up if necessary.

Warrantman, know what you mean. Was stationed at Ft. Stewart, Ft. Lewis, Ft. Bragg and Ft. Benning State side. And at all those posts except for Madigan at Ft. Lewis, the "primary" ambulances stationed at the Hospitals or Fire Stations were civilian like dmetalmiki's. When I first arrived...

I am a man who knows his limitations, and freely admits them. When it comes to sticking my hands into someone's guts to pinch close a spurting artery, I'm your man. When it comes to sticking hands inside of an engine compartment, you want me inside the house watching television. I can screw up...

Nice Box Unit, I'm guessing that the original Manufacturer for that unit was Frazier, located here in Houston. The "BASIC" packing lists for field ambulances are available in .pdf format. As you'll see from my next posts and pictures, the equipment (and packing lists) we used in the 1980's...

More picts of Front Cab area. Got the rubber matting ripped out (mostly). Good news is no cancer (rust spots) found. Am debating whether to put rubber matting back in, or going with the spray in bed liner. Since I'm trying to restore this one to the same condition as it would have been when I...

For those of y'all bringing stuff for the swap meet..... anyone got a Jack, lug wrench set for a CUCV? If ya do, PM me with a price. Need the complete set for the M1010 Project we've started. I'm going to working a gunshow that weekend, but Ric will be there with the Quasi Kubelwagon...

We've been putting this off as long as we could. But now begins our fast track to bankruptcy. Our M1010 Ambulance. It's got a little over 15,000mi on it. When we got it, All the Red Cross Placards including the Roof Placard and 1 Caducceous were in the patient compartment. But all will need to...

Since I've got the 1 adapter, I'm gonna take it by a local machine shop, and find out what it would cost to get another or something similar made. I'm thinking some type of radiator type hose for the hose/tubing it'self. Still brainstorming the diffuser for venting end. Cost factor will...

For those of y'all out there, that have actually used their kitchens.......... The TFK was "supposed" to come with 2 Steam Exhaust Hoses, which were connected to the pressure valves on top of the broilers & Boilers. (see pict). Then the hoses went up the side of the flue, and vented...

Also keep in mind the Fuel Sock in the Gas Tank it'self. They can get gummed up over time and clog the fuel line.

Ric will be there with either the VW Thing/Kublewagon Conversion re-enacting on the German side, or with the XM-161. We've haven't decided which yet. I'll be running the store. Miles.

Here is the new cover: Got one picture to upload. Other's, I keep getting a java.script error message.

MWMULES is correct on the tire size. The information I have so far sez this is a European Tire "only" Got the Herculite Material for the replacement top from a buddy of mine for free. He purchased an entire bolt of the material to make duck blinds last year, and gave me the leftovers...

Hey Guys?? Anyone have a source IN THE US for replacement tires for the Karcher TFK?? In the middle of doing the restoration on ours. Original Herculite Cover was dry rotted, so replaced that. Now looking at tires and suspension and running gear. While the tires still have good thread, they...
