The Chevy Van chassis discontinued the diesel option and the last box remount Alsip had done involved a Ford chassis. If you notice, the sliding door feature has a different track design than the Braun. Need to do something to avoid patent infringement as Braun is not a part of the REV Group.

looks like a Hammond engine, and Chicago tower in the background too.

Hmmm…there’s a lot going on at FSI in these photos! In the first pic, by the rear of the ambo, it appears to be Cal City’s Pierce tower. In the 3rd and 6th pics are Alsip’s Seagrave Truck 2014. And finally in the 4th pic, if you look very closely above the hood of the ambo, you can see the two new CFD towers awaiting delivery.
Guess Alsip is done with the Chevy van chassis, as they are back to Ford. Wonder if they were having any issues with them? Alsip is a longtime Road Rescue customer with a continued matching ambulance fleet. It is interesting to see the once exclusive Braun curbside sliding door is being used by other manufacturers.
