You'll likely need a Factory Service Manual [FSM].
They can be purchased here.....
www.autobooksbishko.com
They can also be found on Ebay from
time to time.

Here's one from this forum's on-line parts
manual.....
http://sweptline.org/suspension63_68/02-05.gif

Your ambulance has a lot of cool things going for
it. It may also require a lot of time and money to
make it fit and reliable for the road. Good luck
with your project. :Thumbsup

You will love the manual that John linked to! Keep your eye out on ebay, I have gotten a few there.

As for the door glass, does your ambulance use the sweptline doors, or are they part of the ambulance body? I have a bunch of sweptline glass sitting around. Otherwise if it is just flat glass from an ambulance body, any glass shop should be able to cut you a piece.
