Hi Im in desperate need of an ambulance rear door / tail gate do you still have it. Rob 0408682831Hi everyone
I've just finished the young family and baby scene family car routine and decided its time to buy my first ute and live again!
I chose a LWB VS because I need to carry special other vehicles in the back.
My ride is an ex ambulance by Jakab - Tamworth. (much different from my old HJ Caprice - my last GMH). These are 600mm longer than the standard VS and extended in the area between the cab rear and the wheel arches.
I bought it with 89k on the speedo and with the ambulance pod still attached. I've been slowly bringing back to a decent ride, my ride.
Returning it from an ambulance to a ute included:
Disconnection of the A/C and electrics to pod
Purchase of 6 side panel covers and 2 fuel tank covers for the ute tub (removed to reduce weight apparently).
Purchase of rear window
Purchase of tail gate
Purchase of 2 bumperettes
Purchase of 4 tonneau rails (they remove these for fitting of the pod
Regass the A/C
Relocate the number plate lights back to their original position
And thats about the start.
Next is:
Suspension
Roll bar
Tub cover (hard or soft?)
Sound
Tint
The SS wheels helped a lot and the whole unit gets heaps of second looks.
Any hints, tips or comments most welcome.
Hey 924, did you manage to remove and replace the pod and fuel tank...long time ago or has ambo gone to crusher thanks seanGoing through the process now of removing the pod to fix a fuel tank leak problem. Will take lots of pictures for future reference .
I have found three bolts in the left hand side in a cupboard under the window . These are underneath small square plates . Three bolts on thought hand side under carpet that is held on by Velcro, these have plastic plugs on the top of them in mine
Now to find the others ????

It's quite unlikely for them to have a new account/usernameI could also see that they hadn't been active for a very long time. I need some parts from someone who has a pod, so I asked. Who knows, they might have a new account/username or someone else might have a pod.
