Anyway, it seems like they were specialized in Ford conversions. Bodycraft continued into the early 1980's building ambulances as far as I know. They were located in Geelong Victoria near the Ford assembly plant, so they had a very good working relationship with Ford, and specialised in conversions of Ford vehicles.
