I started tearing into this today. Removed the plywood that made up the middle compartment, steel floor, rear headliner, cubbies and diamond plate floor. 2 contractor bags full of insulation and mice nests, half a shop vac of mouse crap, 12ft of knob and tube wiring, ants and a real live mouse, I called it a day (have a date with my wife tonight!). The Gerstlager conversion is mostly plywood, hardwood and the side doors are fiberglass, lots of rot, and deterioration.
I picked up a 64 truck cab (floors and rockers are junk, but the dash roof A-B pillars are all good, dash and the front seat frame. I plan on grafting in 2 side doors, jams, rockers and floor to convert it into a 4 door. I am thinking I'll keep the back the way it was, I liked the utilitarian design of the ambulance back. It will make a nice kid, dirtbike hauler camping family type of thing.
I have to start somewhere.
