The Mabry event is a distinct possibility.Will you be coming to the Camp Mabry event in April? Or maybe the Temple Air Show the 1st weekend in May? Lots of cool events in and around Austin to take part in.

This was the last M1010 at one of the Mabry events (mine) in 2010. This was before I repainted everything. The 2nd pic is after I redid the crosses. I wanted to go back to 3 color camo but there was so much tan overspray on all the rubber parts I knew it would never look right so just redid it in tan then 2 months after that sold it to a museum in Kansas.The Mabry event is a distinct possibility.
I will take some pictures of the features inside mine. And pehaps? start another post in relation to it?. Dont want to hijack this thread. Yes pity we are not nearer, I have so many parts fittings and fixings for the F350 Wheeled Coach.
Like what you did. Looks really good. Putting the litter out on the supports was a nice touch. Hope you kept the litter. Un-Painted wood litters like that, are usually WWII or KW vintage.This was the last M1010 at one of the Mabry events (mine) in 2010. This was before I repainted everything.

Total design for transport was 4. The tops of the two bench seats can be un-latched and raised halfway the height of the wall, slightly above where you see the brown vinyl padding on the walls. In extreme emergencies a fifth patient could be laid on the floor in the patient compartment, and a "walking" wounded patient could be put into the passenger's side seat in the driving compartment. In Most medical units, they followed the same practice as in civilian life, where BOTH attendants on the ambulance were medically trained. The more senior, or higher trained medic would attend to the patients, and the other would drive.
MP,,,, have confirmed that the event at Brent Mullins' will conflict with the GRB gunshow. However, I'll send a litter with Ric for you. He'll be re-enacting as German, and will be with a Volkswagen Thing he's converting to look (sorta, if you turn you head the right way and squint) like a Kubelwagon.Very cool restoration. Will this 1010 be at the upcoming event outside of College Station? I hope to drive my ambulance there, and would love to talk you out of a spare litter if you have an extra. I am not restoring mine to military specs, but a camper/support vehicle.
Thanks. I REALLY DO appreciate all the feedback I've gotten from everyone.Your project seems to be progressing nicely. Your truck will look really good when all is completed. I wish there was other people with trucks like ours at shows I attend over here.
Pretty neat. Any other MV "clubbing" buddies nearby around you to rally with?Thats not the case over here, so three came up at once as the bases closed down. So I had all there was. Now I have the only F350 full kit ambulance in the south of england. And the only M45 fire unit in the uk. And one two only gamma goats in the U.K. on the road. An interesting and unique postition to be in.
