Fortunately most everything that you need to outfit the back of your truck is either still made or available from the local hardware store. Wayne

Hi Wayne, I just found some Pictures of other 67-72 chevy/GMC ambulances with similar rear bumpers. So I guess it might not have been custom after all, could be that it was made by a Company back then. I wish i could find out who made it, so I could look for one, instead of trying to reproduce it myself.
No rush, take your time. I have all winter to work on the rood rack. I have never been to this antique car meet, but it sounds great.
I am sure i can find most things, but the most difficult is that rear bumper, maybe the Roof rack and to get the lettering correct as I want that airbrushed below the clear coat, to make it last.
First Thing for now is getting the old and cracked tires off, have the wheels blasted and repainted, get new tubes and new tires installed.
Ralf
