Does anyone here know what's going on with Ford and their decision to cut the E-series from their ambulance lineup? I don't understand if the deisel engine is just being cut and type II's and type III's will have to be gas powered, or if the E-series is being totally cut, leaving just type I's. Here's two links to a letter sent to Ford. Can anyone shed some light on this?

The way I understand it from an article in the new EMS Magazine, they are cutting production of the Cut-aways so there will no longer be Ford Type II's and III's. I have to think this is a huge **** up on Ford's part but I guess we will see what happens.

So I guess this means that unless you use Chevrolet, or the Dodge Sprinter, then everyone will be using the type I truck chassis then? That'll go over great in eastern KY where I work, since most of the ambulance companies can't afford them and nobody wants the other brands. Here's another link to an article in JEMS.

Thanks, i'd like to see what some newer ambulances from GM look like. I also don't mind the switch one bit. Here's a pic of an old Chevrolet ambulance from Perry Co. KY


Ambulances - Guest - 04-01-2007

This is the look of Perry County's newest units.


Ambulances - Guest - 04-01-2007

Louisville Metro EMS. I was turned down for a job by these guys. I believe this used to be a Jefferson County EMS unit before the city-county merger. It's also been rumored that AMR is looking to take over EMS in Louisville. I say whatever.

An old Univ. of Kentucky Children's Hospital ambulance. This has been replaced with a bigger unit recently. I saw this truck 50 million times and was never able to find out who built it. Can anyone shed some light?


Ambulances - Guest - 04-01-2007

A guy in Richmond, KY converted an ambulance from the Cleveland area into his business.

Lexington Fire Dept. started the trend in Central KY to use medium duty chassis. This is a long retired former unit that was one of their first medium duty's from Horton.


Ambulances - Guest - 04-01-2007

Lexington then went to these rigs, built by Horton. They were all originally delivered white/red like the previous one.
