Ambulance Box Transplant

Got an email from Bryan late this afternoon saying he was going to sell the ambulance box off his 712. Since he is only 33 miles away I couldn't let that one pass by. Here are some pictures showing our progress moving the ambulance box from the Pinzgauer to my F250. It actually worked very well.
Thanks again Bryan,
Lloyd

Tow straps around the front of the ambulance box and between the pickup cab and box. Looped with free end to a come-along attached to another vehicle's trailer hitch. The box was jacked up to disengage pins and 2x6s were inserted between the 712 and ambulance box.

Jacked up the rear of the Pinzgauer and took the air out of the tires of the Ford to equalize elevation. We used two 6x6s in the bed of the Ford to support the bottom of the ambulance box so that it would clear the sides of the pickup bed.

Bryan moved! How's the new place? Gotta be easier to get to than your old one in winter.

Backwards ambulance box on shortbed F250 in daylight.

The puppies have already claimed it.

Unloading was a whole lot easier.
