Thank you for sharing these. I think you've tipped me over the edge on doing these hearse style vehicles. Can you please send me to where you found the Adams stuff? Now that you've provided these pictures, I think I'm a go for including Adams into the EMS fleet as well. Thibault was also used by Miami Dade FD. Perhaps I can put these together someday as a two birds, one stone plan. It is definitely a unique cab. Just not sure on the tiller body and different ladder parts. Can't really make those without really good pictures. Thank you for the information on the cabs. I'll have a go at retro semi trucks much later in the future, so thanks for suggesting some more. Here's a bit of news. This picture was just posted on ebay. Guess what it means? The only thing I'm missing is a rear picture. If anyone can find it, please do. I really want to add this rig, and some border patrol, as a "bonus content pack" for the mod, to be included as a separate download. And yet another thing I want to post here for historical preservation, is an extremely unusual LACoFD KME engine.

I was able to enhance the picture that I posted last night. Interesting that the back lettering is written in red instead of black. I doubt this is the same vehicle but this video might help aswell. (Edit, I've found two more shots of the van from the other side. Interestingly one has a lightbar to adhere to Florida regulations. While searching I found this photo which is the first I've seen of when station 105 had one of the crown TDA, it's not very good quality wise but I figured others would find it interesting.

Great work itch! Keep it up buddy!

https://m.facebook.com/groups/132080200200645/ This is the group page where I found the adams pictures, those were part of larger photo sets I cropped down to the ambulances themselves. (Edit:) I've found these two photos for the ATF van, one is the van at the Dupont plaza incident which unfortunately is a side shot but does show what looks to be a ladder on the back, and the second looks to be the same truck (Can somewhat make out ATF up towards the top for the doors. And I assume the bottom says explosive investigation. ) although it's very low res.

After a little bit more digging a came across a facebook group with some more info on the bowers Cadillac: https://m.facebook.com/groups/1567333066864709/permalink/3159661474298519/ The group also had some good photos on a Risher ambulance, according to the group that particular ambulance was the last Cadillac ambulance to operate in the LA county area (Edit:) I found some more reference for adams ambulance service aswell.

I have a couple of pictures of more unique crown engines and a Thibault rig, I may have already posted this video link in the past but I'm not quite sure. A good walk around of one of the Thibaults with a cab. From what I can gather the maxim ladders were refitted to these rigs after the originals developed cracks.

Righto, thanks! The mack is a 45u and the kenworth is a 50s bullnose, that's about all I can get down, good luck with the other tankers!

I have changed course on that. Instead of making a 2000's LA mod, I will be helping someone else with a whole new mod, that's set in 2003, for an area in the midwest USA. I will be looking into these, thank you. I might try more CARE rigs, but I can't do the other ambulance companies without complete pictures of all sides of the vehicle. Unfortunately I won't be making those until a high resolution, complete set of pictures are provided for all sides of the vehicle. I'd also need to find pictures of the cabs as civilian form before I can make the fire apparatus variant. Send as many pictures as you can, regardless. I am sure people coming across this thread on google would find the history to be very useful. Another reason I don't want to do the telesquirts is due to a lack of information on how to animate and configure these models. I'd need to model every hose, every hydraulic arm, and also the fact that making these ingame is a pain in the ass. I'd also like to announce that I am back to making civilian vehicles. Hopefully I will achieve my target goals and have enough vehicles to go around.
