Looks like something made out of a motor home. |

The headlights are from a Chevy or GMC but that doesn't mean that it's on a Chevy or GMC chassis. |

Try "Mobile Intensive Coronary Care Unit" - it's an ambulance. |

Great history... Thanks to Kegare and Weasel1984. Great to see such a historic unit being restored. Back then telemetry of EKGs was high tech stuff. |
