Re: Ambulance rebuild

Looking good. I wish that I had of painted my engine red to match my truck, instead I painted it orange, I don't know why seeing as though nothing else on my truck is original.

Talking Re: Ambulance rebuild

Thanks for the comments ! The washer fluid reservoir along with the rest of the burb sat out uncovered in the weather for over a year. Brake booster is next to be replaced. Friend of mine had it and was "working on it" for me......yea.....not so much. So , I found a guy to rebuild the motor , with a few changes and presto!!! I put a picture of it on the Photoshop thread a while back with a few results...check it out.
