As the subject line says I have recently acquired a 280GE ambulance! Long story short I was originally set on finding a Land Cruiser 75 series troopy to turn into an adventure rig/ camper. There was a guy here in Bend Oregon that had a few for sale, but I thought the price was too high so I started looking for one on austousa website. Obviously that didn't happen! I got tired of reading about land cuisers on expedition portal and stumbled into the G section..... which then led to this forum and watching lots of youtube videos of G's in action. Saw the mastadon (hope I spelled that correctly ) videos of the G ambulance and instantly thought it would be the perfect platform for my purposes. Never thought I would actually find one for sale, but as luck would have it I saw one in a list of vehicles for sale in the text of another G being sold on ebay. I gave him a call, we talked, he sent me a bunch of pictures and I decided that I was going to make it mine even though the rig was in Florida and I wouldn't be able to see it in person. Still waiting for it to arrive in my driveway, but thought I would introduce myself here before it does. Of course the plan is OM606A swap with a 6 speed manual, I have done lots of reading (researching) on this forum as well as Gwagenregister, but will be looking for some help and guidance from forum members as I embark on this swap. Luckily there are a few locals here in Bend that are active on this forum to help me out , but they are just finding out! G Nome we have met before in the Mt Biking world, and I also have a 98 dodge 12V so I will be in touch, still have your number. More to follow....
Cheers,
Joe
