Do you still have these old uniforms? I have a rather large collection of EMS stuff and would love to add them to my collection. Here's a link to my Facebook album of some of my collection. https://www.facebook.com/dan.gilmore.14/media_set?set=a.2200112478907.2127024.1130136238&type=3

Ah geeze! Let me know when the defibrillate someone in water while doing a handstand on the paddles, I'll be watching Emergency! on DVD instead of this madness.

The guy I spoke with at Chippewa said they had also used it for a rehab truck. It would have been even better with air conditioning!

I had contacted Chippewa about this truck. They did use it as a light rescue, but it was set up as an ambulance before they got it (they bought it used). The fellow I talked to said they may have transported a very small number of patients in it. The interior is prepiped for O2 with 4 outlets for flowmeters. The flowmeter fittings use what appears to be an quick connect for airlines only shorter. There is also a compartment on the outside for a large o2 tank with piping connecting to the flowmeter mounts. It also appears to have had a Rico suction unit at one time because the mount is still in it. I know that New York City used a few of these back in the early 70's

Thanks! I posted the pictures in the gallery under the ambulance section.

I have tried to upload the pictures but the files are too large. It can be seen on my facebook page if anyone is interested. Look up Dan Gilmore, the photos are under the "my vehicles past and present" It's on the last page. It's a big white ugly thing. Sorry I couldn't get them to post on here. Thanks

I recently started a restoration of an old 1972 GMC step van ambulance. Is there anyone out there who used to run in an old step van? would anyone have any information on these old things? The truck was made by Grumman Olsen or maybee Olsen by themselves. It was actually made as an ambulance with exterior compartments for an O2 bottle and other equipment.The darn thing even has a small sink inside. Any info would be helpfull Thanks Dan
