Just thinking out loud, but what one of y'all should do with your "Cadillac" V-100, is just when you're bored, drive it over to the local dealership, pull in to the service entrance, and ask'em how much for an oil change? Got a buddy with a Caddy dealership over in Ft. Bend Co, who wants me...

Annnnnnnd the hits keep coming. Turns out if we look closely at pict #3 of the last post?? Ohhhh that silicone sealant isn't just holding the panel in place... oh no no NO!!! THAT would be too easy. It's actually waterproofing the head of a pop rivet. They ran pop rivets down the panel on the...

Interesting. Any picts of the interior?

Looks really good. I've said this on other threads, but I'll say it again. Based on personal experience, drop the fuel tank, flush the entire fuel system, and replace the fuel sleeve inside the fuel tank. All of the CUCV's we have or have owned, had the fuel sleeve in the tank get gunked up...

Wellll........ THIS wasn't the way I wanted to start the weekend. Decided to start working on the Roof Areas. AC, Red Cross Panel, Etc Etc. Soooooooo, started looking at the Red Cross Panel. At first excited because the outline is still there. This will make it easy for those of us who...

Finished with interior repaint. Finally. Even with working inside of a ventilated shop, this weather and the associated humidity has been murder. (It's what we get for living in a city built on a swamp). Door gaskets in, Windshield Gasket in, replaced all pedals with new rubber. Will be...

To answer a few questions I've gotten: Yes, Cardiac monitors and Drug Boxes were carried on the M1010's & other "Bandaids, Armored or not. It would depend on the level of training of the medical personnel on the unit. In the 80's we had 91 Alpha's and 91 Bravos. In loose civilian terms, a 91 A...

Got the doors taken care of today: Took the interior panels off, prepped and repainted the interior of the doors, took a look at the window mechanisms, and applied a new coat of lithium grease to the mech. The rubber bumpers on the window crank mechanisms are seriously degraded, so they will...

Oh and I almost forgot. BREAD. Garlic Bread always works, but you can also go with plain sliced bread, and just lay out the loves in the package with the tops sliced open.

Based on previous experience working disaster sites with various kitchens I would suggest the following: Green Salad, Green Beans, Corn, or Vegatable Medley, Ravioli, Chili, Chili-Mac, or other selections which can be purchased from SAM's, Costco, Sysco, in the large #10 cans, and heated...

Why would we mind? The best way to get new MV'er's is to have them come to this event. They will also enjoy the living history battle, and seeing the Re-Enactors who have set up different camps. Especially Patton's Command Group & Field HQ.

Whups. Have hit a wall. Was finished repainting the floor pan and began the process of putting in the new floor liner.... and we stop. Got the pad in, with a little trimming. and then un-folded, and un-folded, the rubber floor liner,,,,,, looked at it reeeeallll carefully for 30 seconds...

I missed a step, sorry. We are finished (well,,,, 80%) with the patient compartment, except for a final GI Inspection type cleaning. Only thing left, is to have the new blackout curtains on the doors installed. We put in a 2nd coat of paint on the floor, and added the rubber matting. Picture a...

Rattle Can yes: Masking where necessary. Planning on replacing the rubber gaskets around doors, windshield etc, so not worried about that.

Back at work on the beast: Now working on the driver's compartment. Got both seats out, have the passenger's side scrubbed out, and starting to paint. Should have entire interior done this weekend, and new floor mat with padding in.

Had to make a run up to Oklahoma City GL to pick up a load yesterday and today. On the way back, stopped to see Mark at RAPCO and pick up a few goodies. While I was there, he showed me that he has the Spotlight for the Driver's compartment, brand new in the box. I didn't ask him price, so you'll...

I know how you feel. We've run out of room to store vehicles, and are now relying on the generosity of friends with LARGE ACREAGE and no Home Owner's Associations, for storage. (Although it's really really fun to mess with the HOA by rotating the Mil Vehicles on the driveway). We have been...

Oxygen Systems for M1010: The M1010 unlike Civilian Ambulances, does not have a central oxygen delivery system inside the ambulance. Instead we relied on a collection of oxygen bottles. The Portable oxygen system had a hard case, with a "D" Size Oxygen cylinder. This system shown, came...

Yeah......... you're definitely sitting pretty in the Emergency Vehicle Department. Congrats!!

Thanks. I REALLY DO appreciate all the feedback I've gotten from everyone. I know what you mean about the lack of Ambulances being represented, but it's also understandable. Ever since the military went to Dedicated Ambulance Models, vs the jeep ambulances after WWII, the body styles have...
