    This is a very nice build, clean lines, highly functional, love the slat bed - best model for an Amby, and love that you kept original metal cabinets. Well done!! What a beautiful and spacious rig, wow! Some tips: 1. Show the bed open not just closed. 2. No music. NO music. NO MUSIC!!! It ruins the tour, demos, DIYs, and just about everything. The video brought us here, the music will chase us out. 3. Slow down. Really, really slow down. I watched the last bit - finished product - and even on 0.25 lowest speed it was zooming around too fast. It should pan painfully slowly, giving us time to absorb details. 4. Time lapse is not good. Makes viewers dizzy and they don't see anything. A slow slide show is much better. Faster upload too. Thanks for keeping the focus on the van, not the man. Always the best way. Excellent job on build, superb!

    Pretty nice job on your build. You retained the structural integrity of the patient compartment to the point where I think the factory would approve. The Diamond plate walls are................. something you won't see in a certified MEDIC/AID/AMBULANCE but it does say that this rig is a MAN'S RIG. I didn't see any water tanks but you can install a pair of 100 gallon fresh water tanks under the patient compartment bolted to the frame ahead of the rear wheels. Grey water can go on the right side ahead of the curbside door. Yes, I/we have built a rig to go with the mutual aid crews. If I can get it for a week I will add an additional fresh water tank for the shower and rebuild the shower to recirculating its water. And replace the cushions. Good job on a very safe build

    Now that we have a vague idea of the great job you did with the conversion, slowdown on your video making skills and give us a more detailed tour of the completed job specially the making of the bed frame, the installation of the toilet and the shower, which seems to be the most interesting detail. And use a less distracting music, please. Let us have some information about the cost of the truck and how you found it because it looks like it was in great condition.

    Exactly what I was going for. I wanted a clean industrial look and as little weight as possible. All that diamond plate probably weighs less than 10 pounds. Wood would have been over 200 lbs. if I build another one I’d probably do something completely different, brighter and warmer.
