Got the floor in back sanded this weekend, and 1st coat of paint went on this AM. Also shown here are three more picts of the Attendant's Jump Seat. 2 Showing the seat mounted, and it's mounting system. 3rd Shows it in the storage area, driver's side at the front wall. This is normally where the...

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...

Patient Attendant's Jump Seat: Here's a couple of picts now that I have it cleaned up and repainted. I'll Post some more picts later showing the jump seat set up inside the patient compartment and stored inside, after we finish the compartment restoration. As stated before, these were...

I agree with Skinny. Nice score. With any CUCV, closely check the fuel system. Have the sleeve inside the fuel tank replaced, they can get sludgy from the diesel setting for too long. The original heater in the patient compartment ran off of fuel pulled from the fuel line. Since it sounds like...

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...

Load out for the RIGHT side of the M1010: The TALON folding stretcher system was being introduced as I was getting out, and was not very common then. It is pretty much standard issue now on military field ambulances. The carrying bag allows the medic to carry not only a stretcher, but enough...

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. Understand the thoughts about simply staying with the CARC Tan. My M1009 came from Ft. Sill, with a...

I....HAVE....SURVIVED.... THE..... RAT!!! (the things we do for kids....sigh)

Hijack away if y'all want to. We're still keeping to the ambulance thread, and I'm doing my best to show everyone the differences between the civilian ambulances they see every day, vs military. I'm curious, are either of y'all's wheeled coach units Dually? Wheeled Coach did make them with...

The Mabry event is a distinct possibility.

I seriously doubt we'll be finished with the resto before the event at Brent's. I can help you out with the spare litter, I need to double check the dates to be sure it doesn't conflict with the GRB Gunshow. If it doesn't, I'll be over there thurs or fri just to touch base with everyone. Then I...

Here's some more Patient Compartment Picts: Backboards now in on both sides. I.V. Poles: I.V. Poles are stored in the storage compartment on the right hand side. They are specifically designed to clamp onto the poles of the litters, and hold the I.V. Fluids bags/bottles and allow for proper...

Mek a Nek sends a big thank you. Says information will help him to keep his Phoney Baloney Job, Hrrumph Hrrrumph hrrrumph!!

Black out curtains in patient compartment: The curtain on the door between the Patient Compartment and the Driver's Compartment is intact, and still useable. The curtains over the rear doors,,, not so much. So I've drilled out the rivets holding them in at the top, and I'm going to take the...

Appreciate that. Will pass it on to the Mek A Neck

The short answer is that we didn't use them in the field. Our M1010 came with one, and after I've cleaned it up, I'll take picts. As with the NBC system, we were trained on the jump seat and the patient loading arm that was mounted at the rear of the M1010's. But as we all know, there's what...

ALWAYS happy to assist a fellow MV'er. It sounds like you ought to do your own thread on your vehicle. It ought to be great!! I would strongly urge you and anyone/everyone else to take formal medical training. Here in the U.S., start with American Red Cross or American Heart Association...

On a more positive note, have finished the repaint on the Red Cross Panels. (Except the roof panel & Caduceus Panels). Painted the rear of the panels in a Forest Green vs CARC Green (Rattle Can). I figure as the sun dries and fades the paint somewhat, it will match better with the original color.

Blue box of Death confirmed #(&$#!!!!!!! What I "thought" was it's replacement,,,,,, turns out to be part of some P.O.S. Solar Battery Charger. The remains of the panel were on top of the Air Conditioning unit. This vehicle must have either gone to the sand box, or spent an extended period...

Now back to the packing & loading: Still on the left side. More M-5 Medic Bags, with the primary supplies for bandaging, and burns. Various types of bandages, burn sheets, and irrigation fluids. At the far back, were the racks for the oxygen bottles (will show that seperately) and for the NBC...
