1974 Slambulance G10
 

Had my eye on this old van for some time. Thought it would make a cool tailgating, hot rod....ahh thing. So I finally had it hauled down to Phoenix from Montana.

Here's where it sat:

Its a 74 van so it had to get sidepipes and I wanted a 'new' type stance so it got lowered with 20x10 in the back and 18's in the front:

Dig the old school light bar upgrade.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Awwww, damn! That is ******n!Tell me you're going to Dino's Git Down in that! Needs a Whompin' stereo now!

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

CarbonCrew - What siren is the Slambulance running? I had a late 70s firetruck that was running a Federal Signal Director PA-15. Pretty common and iconic for that time period.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

thank you

thanks

good eye, I def like the way it looks vs the other one

I was thinking about bringing my pickup to the Git Down but I could probably get a friend to bring the slambulance! :lol:

lol...thanks guys, its already been a lot of fun. The light bar came from a late 60's (I think) firetruck that was put out about the same time as the ambulance. I talked them into throwing that in the ambulance before it got transported. I'm not sure what type it is. It does say Federal Signal though. The removed light bar said code3 on it I think. I do know its fricken loud! I love how all the old lights look turned on. It reminds me of going on tow calls with my Dad when I was a kid.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Lol....that would be awesome!

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Sweet ride and nice transformation! I'm surprised they left the Montana plates on it too when they sold it!

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Thanks Dieselwrencher....I'm glad they did, it wouldn't have the 'coolness' without the old school paint/decals/plates.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

NICE! Pic with all the lights on?????

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Thanks, I'll see what I can do.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Holy crap that is cool!

I can't believe it cleaned up that nice, the paint looked like toast in the first pic.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Good looking van. I love it.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Thanks. When I looked at the van I thought I could get it to polish, but was a little surprised how it looked when I was done. :metal:

Thank you Paws, I appreciate it.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

What's cool is that one didn't have a whole heap of added stuff all drilled and cut into it (compared to some), yet she's the real McCoy!

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

how many miles on it? was it always an ambulance? cool looking rig.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Yeah, that's what got me thinking about it when it popped up. The inside and outside wasn't stripped and still had it's 70's ambulance vibe.

It shows less than 10K, so who knows. I assume it was always an ambulance.

Thanks guys

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Badass. I love this thing. Would go good with my lowered Caprice cop car.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

The pinstripe was faded and falling off so I decided to put one back on. Gotta love ebay, searched fire truck pin stripe and someone had 100ft for 10 bucks. That fits in this budget....besides the pinstripe will be shiny at night...who doesn't like shiny??? :lol::lol:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...psgt0atxh9.jpg

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

That is F****** cool as hell.

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

that is one cool rig:chevy:

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Thanks guys, its really been a fun project. I can't wait to get started on the inside (tailgating) part of the project. I want to hide all the additions so it still looks like an old ambulance when everything is put away.

Stay tuned ;)

Re: 1974 Slambulance G10
 

Ok. I had to get a TV put in. I wanted to be able to 'hide' it. I was thinking a fold up and it would be out of sight on the ceiling, but then thought of this idea. Have it fold in the wall, then I can build a frame around it and hide it with a piece of white plexiglass. I figure the plexiglass will look light an X-RAY box.

Again, help from from Shawn (Trend Auto) and Ikandy Paintworks for doing a late night clear coat on it.

On to the pics!

No going back now:

Thanks Ikandy, the clear on this looks great!

It works!

Folded up (Will trim this out and put plexiglass over it later - that should protect it and hide it)

The other side:
