Xplorer4x4 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Body styles dont say alot but as you see in emergency and reading here they came with various staff options. @cbh84 thanks for that link. I have never seen the majority of those. I had no idea they made chevy ambulance, or ford F-350 based abulances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
