1974 Slambulance G10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

carboncrew · 11-05-2015, 09:16 AM

Had my eye on this old van for some time. Thought it would make a cool tailgating, hot rod....ahh thing. So I finally had it hauled down to Phoenix from Montana.

Here's where it sat:

Cleaned it up:

Its a 74 van so it had to get sidepipes and I wanted a 'new' type stance so it got lowered with 20x10 in the back and 18's in the front:

(Thanks -TREND AUTO- for all the help)

Awwww, damn! That is ******n!Tell me you're going to Dino's Git Down in that! Needs a Whompin' stereo now!

CarbonCrew - What siren is the Slambulance running? I had a late 70s firetruck that was running a Federal Signal Director PA-15. Pretty common and iconic for that time period.

I was thinking about bringing my pickup to the Git Down but I could probably get a friend to bring the slambulance!

lol...thanks guys, its already been a lot of fun. The light bar came from a late 60's (I think) firetruck that was put out about the same time as the ambulance. I talked them into throwing that in the ambulance before it got transported. I'm not sure what type it is. It does say Federal Signal though. The removed light bar said code3 on it I think. I do know its fricken loud! I love how all the old lights look turned on. It reminds me of going on tow calls with my Dad when I was a kid.

Yep definitely time to start thinking about upgrading? that interior my friend LOL

carboncrew · 11-06-2015, 09:32 PM

Lol....that would be awesome!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-06-2015, 09:43 PM

Sweet ride and nice transformation! I'm surprised they left the Montana plates on it too when they sold it!

carboncrew · 11-09-2015, 09:32 AM

Thanks Dieselwrencher....I'm glad they did, it wouldn't have the 'coolness' without the old school paint/decals/plates.

walkerb · 11-10-2015, 08:08 AM

NICE! Pic with all the lights on?????

67ChevyRedneck · 11-11-2015, 03:24 PM

Holy crap that is cool!

I can't believe it cleaned up that nice, the paint looked like toast in the first pic.

PAWS 72 · 11-12-2015, 01:05 AM

Good looking van. I love it.

Thanks. When I looked at the van I thought I could get it to polish, but was a little surprised how it looked when I was done.

Thank you Paws, I appreciate it.

**special-K** · 11-12-2015, 11:58 AM

What's cool is that one didn't have a whole heap of added stuff all drilled and cut into it (compared to some), yet she's the real McCoy!

deejaaa1 · 11-12-2015, 12:20 PM

how many miles on it? was it always an ambulance? cool looking rig.

Yeah, that's what got me thinking about it when it popped up. The inside and outside wasn't stripped and still had it's 70's ambulance vibe.

It shows less than 10K, so who knows. I assume it was always an ambulance.

Thanks guys

carboncrew · 11-18-2015, 08:58 AM

Couple more pics:

Thought this was cool too:

My son took this picture. Thought it was cool. This was our inspiration.

MalibuSSwagon · 11-18-2015, 09:48 AM

Badass. I love this thing. Would go good with my lowered Caprice cop car.

carboncrew · 11-20-2015, 01:20 PM

The pinstripe was faded and falling off so I decided to put one back on. Gotta love ebay, searched fire truck pin stripe and someone had 100ft for 10 bucks. That fits in this budget....besides the pinstripe will be shiny at night...who doesn't like shiny???
