hard to find and expensive to ship

A list of the things you need would be helpful.

I have a diverse supply of random parts and pieces of various MV's.
Among them are some "stretcher hangers" from an "Ambu-bus" or "Bus-ulance". I have no idea if they are the same as what they used to "stack" the litters in your ambulance or not.

I no longer have this truck, but that's what they look like.

The "upper bunks" appear to be shelves onto which the litters slide in from the rear. Is this correct?

The litter hangers I have are not for supporting such a shelf, but dangle from the ceiling, then the litter handles hang from loops on the ends of that device. Two hangers per litter, one at each end (inboard or aisle-side of the litter in the Ambu-bus/Bus-ulance). The outboard litter handles drop into fixtures on the wall.

If I have a chance to get them out and take pictures, I will.

I think we have an 886 at the Museum. I can snap some detailed pics of what you need. Just lemme know.

Here's a pic of the hardware used in the Buses for hanging two litters. I have no idea if these are similar to what might have been used in your box.

I looked in the one not on display. The interior is complete, intact. If you want pics/measurements, PM me.
