AMT Rescue 911 Dodge Ram Van?

[gasman]

I just picked up on of these kits since I'm kinda in a light commercial mood. what year is this van supposed to represent?

Tere, I don't really think it represents any SPECIFIC year. Just a Dodge van. The grille isn't molded to be any specific year either. I guess MPC was too cheap back then to bother with trivial things like accuracy. It does build up well though.

unless you modify it or plan on building a actual ambulance

im tryin to make a custom ambulance with it and am still tryin to figure out all the interior details

and that was started 6 months ago now its in the garage collecting dust and i still dont know how the real ambulances looked like

Kev, just go down to your local fire station an ask someone in charge if you could take pics of one of theirs. Most firefighters are REAL nice guys and won't mind if you show an interest in their work.My son-in law is a firefighter,and he and his fellow firefighters ALWAYS like to show off their rigs! They are always clean an waxed and ready to roll, to a parade or a fire.These guys are TRUE HEROES. go on down there an ask,you might be surprised!

MPC changed the van in1979 (?) to reflect Dodge's new styling. When the Rescue 911 van came out the grille was "back-dated" to resemble the mid 70's grille. (possibly to escape royalties(?)).

Lots of pics of ambulances and other emergency vehicles in here. Interior and exterior pics.
