Difficult to read the engine emblem, but the interior trim was clearly blue. In later seasons it was replaced by a '74-'75 Ford F 350, same setup, longwheel base single rear wheels. Last season, they used an Econoline van cut away type ambulance. What was even more interesting was the dark blue '70 C 20 used in many background scenes through out the whole series. They might have used it to bring some special supplies out to the filming location. One episode, DeSoto drives it into the back parking area behind station 51. The truck was always kept immaculate. It might have been a Custom Camper, it had a nice rake to it with heavy duty rear springs. It was much too nice to be a studio truck, most were older and repainted cheaply , if you were a fan of CHIPs too, you'll know what I mean.
