    M2 Freightliner Ambulance Conversion Project. 2007 Crew Cab

    I have had the RPi running some control based on the Ambo requirements on the desk but on the truck I used a simple switch pane for the required circuits. Still on the project list but not very high at the moment.

    Nope none of them came from “winter salt” areas. Interesting to know they used some in NY region though. I need to expand my search criteria ?

    M2 Freightliner Ambulance Conversion Project. 2007 Crew Cab

    We made them up out of hood hinges from some European car. I don’t have the details with me but the part number for the base unit is on my whiteboard I hope. We will be doing some more work on the design to add struts or actuators to lessen the risk of the bed squashing someone.

    Medium Duty Ambulance FAQ (Freightliner, International, GMC, Chev)

    Our dual cab has a GVWR of 25000 and a curb weight of 18000. As it sits now with the big axles, wheels, all setup for a trip including spare it comes in at 22500-23000. That’s with a lot of tools water etc. so plenty of capacity left. These trucks also come with scuba tank holders which I find...

    Buying & Building a Medium Ambulance into an RV – The FAM-BULANCE

    amazing I bought the same jack for the same reasons and rejected it for the same reasons. And I have been keeping my eye out for the other ram style. So I will be keeping an eye on your progress with this one.

    M2 Freightliner Ambulance Conversion Project. 2007 Crew Cab

    The idea is to use all rubber hose and have a strain relief loop. Also there will be enough slack to let me drop the unit down to the ground.

    M2 Freightliner Ambulance Conversion Project. 2007 Crew Cab

    Currently we are going with 560Ah of lithium so hopefully it will run it enough. This rig does still have a 7.5 kW diesel generator that I was going to remove. But we are looking at being full time living in this truck and working projects where I may not be able to always select my location...

    Ok a Fugarwi badge (when we get them) for the first person to guess what this is for?

    Forest Service Crew Buggy Body

    Great find and a cool project. If you get the numbers off the locks you can get tumblers and keys fairly cheap from Austin Hardware. Also I recommend opening up the pass through to a walkthrough before starting anything else And design around that. It’s a PITA to do it later. Even if you put a...

    Medium Duty Ambulance Conversion, another post on the topic of tires/wheels and weight limits.

    Allison transmission - Grab the serial number off your transmission and go to My Allison to work out what you have and what options it was built with. I would be surprised for it to be a 1000.

    Buying a 8 lug rim in 18"/20"/22.5"/24.5" e.t.c Do these rims not exist or was it just like finding a needle in a haystack? "Super Singles"These rims do exist but are very rare. Check places that have logging trucks or the like of Michigan, also they did seem to use a lot of them in Florida on...

    M2 Freightliner Ambulance Conversion Project. 2007 Crew Cab

    After a long wait they have finally arrived. 16 280Ah 3.2 v Lithium cells. Sadly only 8 of them are for this truck. But 560Ah should be enough for most situations. Hopefully I can get them fitted before heading out for a couple of months. More to follow as I start putting the packs together.

    M2 Freightliner Ambulance Conversion Project. 2007 Crew Cab

    After deciding that the sleeper sofa setup was not optimal for full time travel I started entertaining the idea of a murphy bed and dinette setup. We started the project pre/early Covid and with spending summer working in Canada there has not been a lot of progress. Now I am happy to report that...
