Neptune USGM rounded-line ambulances are becoming increasingly rare with every passing year, and as far as I know, none are still used in service.

This movie was filmed entirely in Finland, so I’m sure rounded-line ambulances are quite rare there, and the producers apparently wanted American vehicles for the parking garage.

I have not seen the movie, but I assume the story is set in the U.S., and thus, the vehicle is supposed to be in the parking garage of a hospital somewhere in the U.S.

tom11 USWhy did they do that to a pickup, rather than getting a real ambulance? Are Chevrolet-based ambulances from that era really so hard to find? Link to "www.lockportfire.org" http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5156/5896617020_2c86329bcd_b.jpg http://www.firenews.org/mass/Walpole1982Amb.jpg

Neptune USCertainly a rounded-line that has undergone the Frankenstein treatment.

It is/was a 1981-1982 Chevrolet C-10 Scottsdale Fleetside, starting life as a half-ton class pickup.

The front bumper is from the 1973-1980 model years and so, not factory correct. The front wheels, while five lugs, are aftermarket and not factory correct. The cab reveals it once had body-side bright work moldings optional on Fleetside versions. A one-ton class axleset was added, along with an ambulance body.

Unless changed after it's manufacture, it would have left the factory with either an 4.1 liter 250 inline-six, 5.0 liter 305 pushrod V-8 with electronic spark control (ESC), or a 5.7 liter 350 diesel V-8 engineered by GM’s Oldsmobile division.

tom11 USWeird. the 5 lug nut wheel suggest C-10, but the duallys suggest C-30 :??: :think: . Maybe some unprofessional hack-job? :think: its not uncommon to do so, for example, we have a 1981-1982 with a 1985-1988 grill /vehicle_333002-Chevrolet-C-10-1981.html and two of them with Ford Taillights /vehicle_329649-GM-C-Series.html /vehicle_279716-Chevrolet-C-10-1981.html the one in the first link having an odd dually arrangement :think: 2012-03-24 15:26

cieraguy USI agree, tom11. It looks like they were relocated to those posts on the front bumper. Also, for some reason, the high beams are painted orange. 2012-03-24 02:54

1981 Chevrolet C-10 Scottsdale Fleetside
Dark Floors (2008)
tom11 USYes, I do agree on it being from 1981-1982. Although it doesn't seem to have the normal turn-signals in the bumper /vehicle_194570-Chevrolet-C-20-1981.html the trim is probably Scottsdale or Silverado (could be Custom Deluxe, but I doubt it with these headlights).

The first thumbnail shows that it has the 5 lug wheel at the front, but the rear is dually.
