Gordon_M Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It was at the 60th as well. It not 100% sure, but I think that is the OY X-Ray truck I helped rebuild in the late 1980's. It's looking neater now, but I think the giveaway is that the cab has been replaced with an OX cab, which we had to do as the original cab was toast. The truck had been fitted with a huge roof rack and used to tour India and the middle east in the 60's / 70's, after which it stood in Edinburgh painted white for many years. We had to re-sheet a lot of the body, easy enough, push the roof back up, replace the engine ( original had been left with the head off ) and the cab. The distinctive thing about the OX cab is that the underpanel is cut back both sides to clear the fuel tanks, which were further forward on the OX cab, though when we got the OX cab is was mounted on an MW chassis. It is possible it is an identical truck where a similar OX cab was fitted, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavy8 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 So I was up late last night looking for info on the Cadillac and Packard based street ambulances used state side by the U.S. Medical Dept. and base hospitals during the 30’s 40’s and 50’s. While not shedding any new light on this subject for myself I found an interesting photo showing a ‘new’ 1942 caddy next to the old 34 panel. I am now more interested in finding info on that 34. :-P I did somehow manage to stumble upon an Australian photo archive with an International Harvester collection. Included in the collection were several delivery photos of military contract orders. http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/themes/3158/international-harvester-ih-collection?start=1. Also in the collection are D30 and K5 based trucks, and (my favorite) militarized D2 Utilities. The captions for these say that these ambulances were for the RAAF.

Smithy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Haven't seen this one out and about again since I photographed it back in 2005 at Belvoir Castle. Anyone have any extra information on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schliesser92 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Humber 8cwt light ambulance, same chassis as the staff car. About 1,000 were built. It was, I think, a 2-stretcher ambulance with the bodywork built by Thrupp & Maberly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schliesser92 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 judging by recent pics I've seen, it's apparantly alive and well and appears at the odd show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon_M Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The '34 looks like it might be a Dodge KH series 1.5 ton 4 x 2. I just happen to know someone in Texas who has a very good KH military dump truck project for sale, but only to the right person as so many people are rodding these things.

GoranWC51 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 This is a late model Dodge WC51 ambulance (note the red cross marking on the side of the rear body) belonging to the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (Força Expedicionária Brasileira-FEB) hospitaL unit. Photo was probably taken at the FEB hospital outside of Livorno, Italy. My WC51 had this marking before it was shipped down to Holland for restoration. I still have to decide for a marking once it's done. But it will be of the FEB, that's for sure. Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.303fan Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) one of our 101fc vehicles. we decided to save one by getting the equipment the previous owner kindly chucked away just before delivery of the vehicle. it was camper converted for a year, when i got told it was a shame that vitrualy non existed in original set up. it was a stupid idea, but a 3rd place price winner on our local oldtimer show. parts where used from five other vehicles. quite happy we done it. cheers, Arjan Edited July 8, 2012 by .303fan right picture this time..

Tony B Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Reminds me of my old 101. Nice job on the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.303fan Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 thank you. we even had paint made to that green. i found a flake preserved under the wood that was made inside her. told the mixing guy there was 0.5% tolerance on paint shade difference and he delivered spot on. Beertender was given her name by uk customs, as we had 20+Grolsch cases in the rear she will be driven from near Amsterdam to Kent via Dunkirk, to attend this war and peace. we are missing one stretcher, a compressor and some functioning electrics: temp gauge and fuel gauge. cheers, Arjan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 This is the untouched version. You can se how well you've set your's up. The red cross on the radiator grill seems in British Service to have been confined to Bosnia. My old one has served there and still had traces of the cross on the wire.
