1969 Club Wagon; not Econoline. Brush guard on the door sill, chrome strip and hint of chrome along the windows. This is the second van like this I ID'd. I need to figure out who bodied this and they were always using Club Wagons. Would help in the ID process.

Maybe someone else knows the bodiers from the late 60s early 70s. :hello: AnimatroniXx ;)

Not really... I mainly do coachbuilding in the sense of rebodying and in my understanding "open doors, throw some stuff in and put some gadgets on the roof of a stock van" isn't coachbuilding at all. :cry: Also, this doesn't require a full coachbuilder, which is why loads of local bodyshops started converting vans into ambulances.

Superior made a lot of these Ford Econoline (+ Club Wagon?) ambulances in the late 60s and early 70s, and in Canada, many converted Econoline or Club Wagons were in service too (Demers, Crestline, Ambucraft, probably more). Divco-Wayne/ Wayne Corp. did a lot of Dodge and Chevy van ambulances - that's all I can tell for now, I'm afraid.

Thanks again for this information! I didn't mean to offend when I said 'coachbuilding' I should have said ambulance prep package ;) I apologize.

Trinity ceased production in 1968, so this is a Summers conversion.
