Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Well,
Time to hit the road again
Got my vote in

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Today’s entertainment ;)

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Eric, I’m in to see this one unfold.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

I started to write a too long post about Newsom and probably too much about Jenner (who Im fine with btw), but that's political and a bunch of other stuff LOL!

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Road trip! I want to go too. Not sure where Nantasket Beach is but it sounds like a groovy place.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Jenner should write an autobiography or make a movie. How about this for the title?

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Hoping it’s a memorable trip! Following along

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

It was nice to meet you sir. Have a safe trip home!

A better picture of your ride

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Met an Ol timer

We’ll call this one
‘Rusty Bucky’

Not sure I’ve ever seen a truck that had this much deep rust
That was So consistent
:help:

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Something I never considered about those old ambulances until just now, is the lack of privacy for the patient. That’s a bad ride if you have to get stripped down for any reason:lol: Also the apparent lack of AC, I bet that made for some fun trying to keep someone alive in the heat of the summer.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

We talked about that
No a/c
Probably because it was a northern state
And I posted those heater hoses
Going to the rear, under the hood
(I’ve never seen that before)

If you look at the picture closely
He told me the stretcher to the right
Can hang from those hooks on the ceiling
Just in case they had more than one patient

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Interesting, I saw those hooks and was thinking Iv bag or similar. Never thought about the stretcher hanging from it. Those heater hoses are pretty interesting as well. I’ve never seen an ambulance of this vintage in that condition, seemingly still ready to go to work. Very cool.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

I like that blue bull hide the coach company used. Looks like a good match!

It looks like they stripped 'Rusty Bucky' to bare metal and walked away

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Nice old ambulance.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

We had 2 of those in the PD when I first got on the job in 86 . I could have bought them cheap when they auctioned them off in 94 . Think $300 or there abouts .

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

I'm betting they did strip it and then they used an acid solution and sprayed it and let it rust. re pete the process until you get your desired rust look.


I wouldn't have thought those would hold a 2nd person with gear either. Maybe not a biggun like myself. :lol: Still a very cool unit. Maybe not in summer. Haha

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Quite the conversationalist truck right there.,, anyone see where the gas tank is located ?

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

I wonder where Chevyland is today?

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Just finishing up in Ma.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 

Got the motor home packed up
And
Ready to go
