72 Burb Ambulance - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone know any production numbers on 72 burbs. There is a 72 burb ambulance with 67K miles for sale locally and seems to be a very solid rig. I beleave this truck was converted into an ambulance by Divco-Wayne Corp out of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. It says Sentinal on the right rear barn door. Anyone have any info on these conversions? Thanks.

I don't have any production numbers, but there were a number of companies that converted Suburbans into ambulances. I have attached a scan of a Wayne Suburban ambulance from a book I have "The American Ambulance, 1900-2002." Wayne Corp. started producing these in 1969. The Miller-Meteor Division of Wayne Corp. also built ambulances and hearses on Cadillac chassis.
