I’m sure there will be some built on that new GM chassis at some point. However, don’t expect it all that soon since many depts. don’t want to take a chance on a brand new chassis until it has proven itself in the commercial non FD/EMS world first.

Looks like it will be a nice rig. When was their ambulance totaled? Which one was totaled?

I would like to see departments trying out the new GM medium duty chassis.

Gurnee is actually buying two new identical ambos. They should replace the international now but after they had an ambulance totaled on the tollway last month they’re going to keep the international a little longer. the second emergency purchase ambulance will replace the int when it comes. There could be delays due to back orders on ford 550 chassis’
