Hi!
I am reading Mike Scardino's book, "Bad Call". He talks about his days working summers for St John's Hospital-Queens from 1967-71. The picture of the ambulance shows what appears to be an overgrown camper top stuck onto a '62-66 Chevy longbed pickup. A flat-top Beacon Ray/competitor and rear lights serve as warning devices. Scardino talks of a roof-mounted siren (model 66 possibly?)
Check the picture out at this link: https://nypost.com/2018/07/18/the-insane-tales-of-a-1960s-nyc-ambulance-attendant/.
Is this a homebrew or did a firm build the ambulance for St John's? It beats anything I ever saw.
