Unrestored WC-54 Military Ambulance - I Like This Thing

[Old Moparz]

Ever since the local firehouse auctioned off an old mid 50's Power Wagon about 15 years ago that I didn't bid high enough on, I keep looking at these things. My wife loves the old trucks & Jeeps, so maybe one day I'll get her one as an anniversary gift instead of some crappy piece of jewelry she won't wear. 

This thing is cool, I'd love driving it around here.

C'mon Bob...buy it!  I'm sure your wife will love it.

She seriously would, but there's no place to put it. 

Maybe if I thin out the fleet....

Would it fit where the 71 barracuda is sitting

My Dad and brother went in on one of those a few years back.  It was used as the brush buggy for the fire dept in my home town.

Would it fit where the 71 barracuda is sitting   

Probably, but the ceiling fan might wear a hole in the roof.

Can you blame me for asking?

No, I'll just blame the ceiling fan, but I didn't pay a lot for it. It's a cheap fan, like $15 when the store was going out of business so I bought 2 of them. It has an antique, brass finish, that's kind of out of place in the garage. You can't see it when the lift is up, but when it's down it really clashes with the stainless steel tool box. Maybe I can strip the fan housing & paint it to have a more industrial look, but I have a ton of crap to do already.

Maybe I'll look on ebay for a different fan.

I have a nice white, industrial, looking fan I would throw in on the deal

Gosh I do believe so........

I dont think your lift would hold that big old War Dodge so you dont need to worry about your fan!   

Thats a nice old truck but a long ways from "unrestored".

It's a 9000 pound lift, but I could always put some verticle 2x4's under the runways to help support it as long as it clears the fan.   

It sold for $8,699.99 ......seems reasonable to me.

Now that's love!
