I call it "Big Bird" haha
Picked this Ambulance up last weekend and drove it home from up in OK.
4900 original miles. Broke the 5k mark on the way home. USFWS Painted it Yellow and had it for a Search and Rescue truck.
6" Rough Country lift and 37" tires.
I'm going to build out the box and make it a little Camper. I hunt Hogs with Dogs and will build in some dog compartments under the bunks. They will be riding in style.
Not sure whether to paint it back to ODG or leave the yellow. Its kinda growing on me and its definitely and attention getter lol.

Once I fix the issues with the lift, I'll be looking at doing a 4l80e swap and maybe a turbo
After looking more into it, I'll be putting on a Gear Vendors OD instead of doing the 4l80e swap. Bolt it on, make a new Driveshaft and go!
A lot less work than swapping out a perfectly good TH400

I probably will never turbo this 6.2 either. Maybe way down the road I'll do an LS swap. 6.0 or 6.2 LS would be real nice. Or maybe a Duramax!
