>OK List,
> It's an M43 (M37 Ambulance built from 1950-1954) that's at a hunting
>camp in New England (see Berndt's Standard Catalog page 62 for good
>picture). The story is it was US Army, then surplus to a fire department
>rescue squad, then to the current owner. He's had it for at least 20 years
>and says it still runs and drives. Supposedly very complete and still OD
>inside (fire dept. red outside naturally) including a couple litters and
the
>gas heater. Pictures show very good looking exterior with all the proper
>bits including the spotlight on the cab roof but no spare tire carrier on
>the door. Owner claims it only has one small spot of rust, but the BB gun
>brigade has broken a windshield pane and a headlight. It was offered so
>we're considering it - just to save it from rotting away in the woods,
>otherwise we'd stay far away. He doesn't see himself going hunting too much
>anymore after going this year and the local veterans honor guard think it'd
>be great to ride in to their duties so it's been offered. He's asking
$1,200
>(and yes, the veterans are trying to talk him into donating it to "the
>cause"). What do you guys think based on the limited info I have? What
>should we look at /for? What should we beware of? Have we driven straight
>off the deep end? (it won't be lonely in the barnyard that's already
>overfull !)
