Most of yall know im looking for a 77 M886 or 80 W400 Ambulance. Well im not having much luck tracking one that isn;t a thousands miles, eaten up with rust or has no title. The search continues though

But Ive also had another option if i can find the bed. The Chevy CUCV had the M1010 Which also was a ambulance or a communcation truck.
The Bed looks like this

Well I found a 77 Dodge with the same bed on it and it was call a M880 Communcation truck. Now I don;t know if the military actaully used these or someone just transfered the M1010 bed to a M880. But either way I like the idea and the look and they are made of aluminum. If anyone knows of one in TEXAS Please let me know.

Here's something I wanted to do when I had my lifted Astro Van.  A fella on the website I was a part of built this out of a wrecked Astro.  It's pretty cool I think.  I wonder if you could do something similar with the back half of a wrecked RC?

thats interesting

[9dawgs]

Yeah, the more I think about it the more cool I think it would be. I guess you wouldn't have as much lengthwise as the Astro camper but you'd have a little bit more width I think. If you cut and fabricated right there would be ample room for a double air mattress. You could even build a tilt up compartment for it to lay on so you'd have storage underneath.  Man, I'm talking myself into this project!  Good thing I don't have the money to start anything like this because really I think I'd dive right in.

I have come close to tryin to build one, but I think the tires so far back with very little hangover would make for lots or tongue weight.... but it would be cool to try....
