Another question; are all the stretcher support s the same or are they mirrored to accept the stretcher tracks? I only have one and need to fabric 2 more and my wielder wants to know if he has to wield the anchor brackets opposite of each other or the same side? Thank you in advance. Also looking for a canvas top that could either be used as a donor to repair a badly ate one or to replace it all together. Thank you in Advance Mike 802-236-7922

Trying to get it buttoned up under the hood, waiting on some harness clips and need to finish my fuel and vent lines, can't wait to hear it running.

Wow!!

That really looks great! Maybe you could capture a short video of it running...
Have to post it to YouTube and then link it here. Still it would be neat to see.

Thanks Mullaney, I will do a video walk around when completed.

Getting closer to completion, here's a couple pics.

After 2 years I feel like I'm at the end of the tunnel, just need to add spare tire, data plate, litters and splint kit. It runs great, maybe some of you guys can see it one day, I will add a video when I get it out of the shop. Thanks, Buddy

Awesome looking truck and a ton of work you have gotten done. This is the second one I have seen, many moons ago I knew a guy that was in the local NG Medical Unit who was building one. He scrounged all over for parts and it was likely lots easier to find them 40 years ago instead of now. Great job.

Thanks for the comments SMH, original parts were the hardest things to come by, took me 10 years to collect parts to complete the project.

Amazing work Buddy! That looks great!

Took the jeep to its first show today, had to enter in the 4x4 class, got beat by an early Bronco.

Crummy part is that you have to post videos somewhere else, then create a link here.
Can't wait to see the video. The pictures are neat. Lots of hard work went into that vehicle!

That must have been a pristine Bronco! Or the owner was the judges brother! lol

Great work Buddy!

Thanks Guy, a least I didn't come home empty handed, one of my bikes scored well.
