    M886 Dodge Ambulance

    I have an M886, and I love it! It had a bad crankshaft, and the patient compartment was gutted out when I got it. I rebuilt the engine, went over the wiring,rebuilt the brakes, and ultimately found the patient compartment interior. The rear compartment gasoline fired heater is functional. My...

    M886 Ambulance Heater Question

    Light Green Camo Paint Needed FS 34151

    Thanks for the replies! I'll check out Ebay and try to find the guy selling the paint. By far, I think Gillespie makes the best military enamel paints. I have used many, many gallons of WW2 33070 over the years. It goes on well, dries nicely, resists wear, and generally holds up well. It has...

    What is this engine? M54Wrecker

    The 5 ton family with the ENDT Mack-what a truck! I had a M54A1 cargo, Mack powered- lots of power, when you would goose the throttle, it would rock like a performance car. It was 05B29069, ex- NJ Guard. Ten years later, I owned M54A2, LDS 465 Multifuel-a dog. BUT, it was 05B28969--consecutive...
