    Our shop's new pride and joy: a vintage 1969 Econoline Ambulance

    Stretcher Recommendation Needed

    If you can find one, a Ferno Model 26 one-man cot might be to your advantage, especially if you have to transport your son by yourself. They are easy to work with and require no lifting to put in the back of the ambulance. I'm not sure if Ferno still makes them or not. Maybe someone on this...
