Big advantage with the ambulance builds over the box trucks being that they make them to be so durable. You could roll it and everything would still be fine.
I believe that is one of the best Ambo conversion's I have ever seen . Its nice to see he got rid of the "dead Guy" vibe and the "My husbands having a hear attack can you help him"? vibe .Thanks for the video. We enjoyed it here at crappy work.
As paramedic I kind of have an affinity to the ambulance builds. Even though you didn’t notice, I noticed he had left the original cabinets in place. Decent build.
Good point, I would imagine in your case you may want to gut the whole interior! Or just build something else, I could see that being weird for a paramedic! Thanks for sharing your perspective
I’m a Paramedic also and love the Ambulance builds. But knowing what’s been on that floor and walls. No amount of cleaning could make me want to sleep or store food in that box ever!
In the world of solo camping, this video is a visual manifesto. Solo overlanding becomes a declaration of freedom, where the solo camper's journey echoes in the rustling leaves, the open skies, and the distant horizons.
Great video. My friend used to earn $ 27,500 per year selling black plastic pocket combs out of his stepvan. He was overweight and sold the combs through his little service port sliding window on the passenger side of the van !!
Man, thats sweet. Ive purchased a 1 ton van ambulance and i own a 02 ford excursion 1 ton with load assist, with a 7.3, 4x4. We will be transfering all running gears over to the ton ambulance so we can have a more versatile and stronger machine. Capable of camping or living comfortably. Van is a 2004 so there will be some changing for the 6.0 to 7.3 power stroke diesel.
Van live is the way to go and probably cheaper. Just had a 2023 pro master 3500 professional built picking it up on the 25th more room. Anyways, call video bro that’s still a sweet builder America 🇺🇸💪🏼🦅🛠️🤙🏼
Awesome build man! I have a trial and error build 2017 4Runner that has a pile of coin in it, I wouldn’t dare guess what this one cost. It really isn’t about that though. For me at least it’s a way to get the family out and actually enjoy it. I can settle for a fire and a saddle blanket. You really did a great job of transforming it, I first thought it was a boutique build. I love it. Do you find the size a limiting factor? Cheers
I personally need a dinette to work and eat. A recliner is fun in a house but not super practical in a small space like this, from my experience. Although there are some cool couch/bed designs out there for those who want that
Get rid of those Fox shocks...too much maintenance. Get Bilstien's for RVs...the truck will ride just a well and you'll get twice the life out of them. Nice build.
I have one of those! 2003, after a half-century of make-do camping in lesser rigs, we built our ExpeditionVehicle on a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck. Over two decades full-time live-aboard. . 1968, at 16yo, I left high-school for the trades program at the local junior-college. Welder-fabricator. 1970, I fabricated titanium components for submarines. 2023, I bid on a contract fabricating tungsten surgical components... us$250 hourly, plus us$300 per diem. They are happy with my hourly, countered at two-fifty per diem... ... although we live a ten-minute walk away from the shop.
Andy worked incredibly hard on this build, did it all himself. You have no idea how much money he has into this and it really doesn’t matter! Unless of course you are trying to build an ambulance conversion? Specific questions are always welcome!
Just to let you know. In England, not sure about anywhere else, the two fingers facing forward is flipping someone off. As in the same thing as the middle finger. Just letting you know, I personally don't care but this world is getting whimpy.
@Down2Mob I know of 10 companies that invested in them back in the early 2000's and they still have several not running sitting around out back that became far to expensive to have the engine repaired on after 150k. And yet I have 6 different 94 to 97 Cummins powered Dodge trucks that all run and drive. The 7.3 reliability record is WAY better than the 6.0 but it has nothing on a 12 valve Cummins except that it is more difficult and expensive to repair.
@@TheGrimsockfacts are facts. Just ask that youtuber that bought that 2020 F350 1ton used with the warranty that had 50k on it. He got stranded a long ways from home when the fuel injection pump crapped out and the local Ford dealer said the warranty wouldn't cover it and wanted 10k to fix it. He sold it to the dealer and went home and spent some time and money on maintenance for his 12 valve CUMMINS powered Ford crew cab that had NEVER left him stranded. Facts are facts.

super cool to see where this thing ended up! I built the cushions for the seats in this thing and was so jealous when I saw it in person!
Oh that’s so cool! Nice work on the cushions. Ya Andy killed it

@@TheHallFarm 🤣 I totally get it!!
I'm a retired emergency room Doctor.
Good Job Andy. Creative, Smart, Intuitive.
This Amby nailed it. Cushions that double as insulation and the ottoman/bench/toilet/stool wow!
That is one sweet rig. Excellent video showcasing this Ambo.
Heck ya thank you for watching!!

Another amazing Ford single cab for the win!
Looks like an absolute beast! Love the look with the singles

Beautiful, super functional build. Nice work Andy!
I’m looking forward to seeing retired fiber trucks get converted. They seem to be really well suited for RV conversion
Heck ya those things are awesome!
Funny, I saw one today and thought the exact same thing
@@roberttaylor7451 they are like 80% there. Stand up height, AC 👍🏼
That thing is a beast, great build
Heck ya thanks for watching and commenting!
During 2002 to 5, I was driving one of those for US Navy to covering fly line nice truck. VT7 VT9 CTW1
Andy's ambo build is fan tastic
That's sick
Heck ya!
I wonder if you could weld a flat bottomed Jon boat on the roof to make an extension ?
Van live is the way to go and probably cheaper. Just had a 2023 pro master 3500 professional built picking it up on the 25th more room.
Anyways, call video bro that’s still a sweet builder

Cubic space instead of the floor with its two-dimensional area.
Concur.
Haha I concur as well!
Awesome Build!!
thanks for watching and commenting!
Great ambo build! I love the interior white/wood combo and all of the storage.

Hellooooo!
Great vid man. Totally subbed.
Way cool Rig

Massive beautiful tyres on awesome wheels 🤠🙏🤟🇬🇧🇺🇲
Great build ❤
Heck ya thanks for watching and commenting!
I had my 6.0 replaced and they did NOT pull the cab for the swap.
Perfect camper
I need to find steps like the one you are using. Could you tell me where to find?
Buying a used ambulance seems like a genius idea for an camper

Whooooa!
great vid!

THE AMBO 🤟🤠
😮Living the dream 🤠🇬🇧🙏
Where did you get the roof rack? I’m doing an ambulance conversion for work truck and have been looking for a rack just like that.
Very nice!!!!
If someone could just figure out how to replace an uncomfortable dinette with a recliner for those cold rainy days and nights💥😂
Agree 💯, who's asking for these dinettes?!
I absolutely hate dinettes. There is nothing comfortable about them.
I personally need a dinette to work and eat. A recliner is fun in a house but not super practical in a small space like this, from my experience. Although there are some cool couch/bed designs out there for those who want that
@@Down2Mob Timmy’s couch looks pretty comfortable for those multiple rainy and snowy days😂
Check out Ladi & Margaret's channel for their recliner version. Really sick build. th-cam.com/video/GKw3_nrjL9U/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Nice!
Get rid of those Fox shocks...too much maintenance. Get Bilstien's for RVs...the truck will ride just a well and you'll get twice the life out of them. Nice build.

What roof rack is that anybody know?
Cummins conversion!
You too can have one of these! All you have to do is be a trust fund baby. 😂
I have one of those!

Looks nice, but top heavy. Rolls like a canoe in a typhoon.
Tough to have an ambo not act that way, although his seems pretty well mannered compared to others I’ve seen
Save up money for engine repairs and remember they pull the cab completely off the truck for any serious engine repairs.
7.3 is super reliable and will easily go over half a million miles if maintained correctly, but yes any motor could need major maintenance at any time

so much difference: american vs. european overlanders.....
Hard to say which one of you is the bigger doofus. Might be a draw.
I can't find him on Instagram I tried what he said but no luck.
Great build!
