  thanks Wayne with most new ambulances costing around 200k 86k for a chassis and remounting a good box seems like a wise decision.

  Mike, I worked for a service that did a rechassis (went from a Ford E series to a Chevy Express) and also extensive refurb work, for $86,000. A lot of the cost depends on the manufacturer and the work you have done. Another place I worked for literally dropped the box on a new chassis and had no refurb work done. My guess is that is a LOT cheaper.

  From the looks of it, it is the same height.

  So can anyone tell me what this cost to do? Chassis cost and remount cost.

  Maybe it is just me, but it appears that the box is taller after the re-chassis.
