Looking for Oregon Member w/Ambulance
I'm looking to get in touch with member "JasonS" of Albany, Oregon. He posted here just once in August 2012 with the following message and pic:
"Hello, I’m the proud owner of a 1970 Chevrolet Ambulance. I saved it from being scrapped for the Engine (454) and transmission (TH400). It was not running, sitting outside, rotting tires, and major infestation of Wasps. I believe it has less than 84K original miles on her. Time and $$ later I have her running fairly well. I would love to know who did the conversion. I think my rear etched glass is the key to finding out who did the conversion. I trolled around the web and I’m circling around it being a Stoner conversion just not sure. I’m planning on meeting an ambulance builder in Portland named Larry Miller who has made a number of the ambulance conversions during the time this was built. Kind of excited to see what he has to say. The history I know it was originally purchased by the City of Albany Fire Department, later retired and sold/given to Scio fire district and eventually sold to me. I guess I should mention that these are all in a fairly small area of Oregon, and that I live in Albany Oregon. On another note after changing my front breaks I was wondering if there is a possibility to change them to disks. I hope no one thinks that’s some sort of sacrilege. It would just make it nicer to drive. Jason S" I've since found this photo (below) of what his truck may look like now. It was taken at the Antique Powerland musuem complex in Brooks, OR on an unknown date: Might anyone here happen to know him or his truck or know of a way to contact him? I've tried to PM him here with no luck. I would like to try to contact him in order to obtain some technical assistance with the restoration of my own 1971 GMC/Stoner ambulance. Any information or leads are greatly appreciated!

There's a similar but orange one listed on eBay right now. Matt

Found and contacted him through Facebook! He still owns the rig and I'm going to visit him and check it out while I'm in Oregon this weekend.
