- The request has been fulfilled! Without further ado, we present the in depth grip/camera truck tour!
We converted an old ambulance into an equipment hauling machine. We've added all the bells and whistles like new tires, a lift kit, LED light bars, a 4x4 box, L track, custom shelving, a rooftop speedrail container and lots more. Tag along as Keenan takes us through every detail about the build process and the reasoning behind our decision to go with an ambulance.

Wait, we can't just skip the fact that your name is on the front in reverse so that you can read it in a mirror...genius!
Its how they write “AMBULANCE” on them too, which no doubt they just copied.
Came here from Epic Light Media, now I really like your content and watching every video
Yes! Thank you for letting us know. 👊
Wow, never thought we would get this video. Love the Idea of upcyling a ambulance.
The video is finally here! 🎉🎉
Sorry to keep you waiting
Great video.
Great conversion.
But no one is talking about how many people DIED in that thing!
If they died, it was while heroes were trying to save them, that's an incredibly positive vibe IMHO.
You should be proud.
Keenan, you guys are sick! Your grip truck rocks. We use a Freightliner hotshot to attend model airplane events and pack cameras along with models for me to play with, so I'm always on the lookout for ideas for improving my mobile workshop. Two things you may wish to consider in future; a generator, and provisions for rooftop access for filming from above.
Thank you!
Nice! We do have a generator, just not mentioned in the video. And we have the folding ladder in compartment C for rooftop access. Although we have talked about adding a permanent ladder on the side.
That truck transformation is really amazing !
Pretty cool idea. I like this.
You need a production ambo now huh Jacques!?
Of course you post this right after I make a purchase of a dodge ram promaster city and build it out as a 1 ton grip truck haha. Cool to see your breakdown and makes me kind of want to do a break down video of my own. I love seeing practical content like this for us working in the industry to brain storm our own builds and workflows.
This is inspired. For those of us who work in video, the light bulb just went off over our heads on how we could hack an ambulance into an OB/ENG van.
This is the truck of my dreams
Keenan this is absolutely amazing! Awesome job.
i like to not watch a bunch vids lol so i can binge em in a row cause pretty much each vid is hella entertaining.
This video is amazing !! Love the organization
Love this truck! Goals.
This is awesome! I knew a grip in Toronto that had an old ambulance as his grip truck but nothing like this!
This is next level. When I grow up, I want one.
Amazing!!!
This is impressive!
I'm currently doing a van build where I don't want to mount anything permanent in the van. So I love your use of L-track and milk crates, I plan on doing much the same. 🥰
I want to be able to scrap a cheaply bought van and replace it as necessary with little effort. If an engine or transmission fails, I can't afford to repair it, so I'm better off selling it for parts and replacing it with another cheap beater.
Amazing conversion! Freaking smart team you got there.
Thank you! Very interesting 🤔
Good job 👍
This is amazing
I'd like to know more about the power situation on this truck! Great video.
I've been looking into #vanlife for a month now, forget it I'm all in on #ambolife
Love it!
Yoooooooo that's sick dude!
Awesome guys. Really nice channel as well.
Must be an old military Ambulance with the way the rear doors are set up. Have only seen that style used on bases
You nailed it! It originally came from Navy base in florida.
as a medical retired emt/paramedic , id turn all the strobe lights into flood lights for legal reason .... and turn the fender lights into Led turn signals
I was hoping you'd have some c-stands in compartment c
Those would be some SMALL stands!
Hey, great video and an awesome truck! Thanks for an in depth tour! If some day I have a big enough production going on I'm totally ripping off this "repurpose an ambulance" idea! (wishful thinking, yeah)
A question: do you keep a lot of valuable gear in there or do you load and unload a lot of stuff every time you have to move to a shoot? Or do you have a secure parking space/garage and can just not worry about anything inside the car?
Great video and choice of truck. Can you share us how much the original truck was and the cost of conversion?
Nice nice supreme nice
Pretty much my dream
how did you build/where did you get the speed rail box? any vids breaking down that build specifically?
Can you fill us in on the specifics of your lift kit, and what wheels and tires you are running? I own the same rig 96 e350 ambo...7.3 quigley.
Beautiful job, 4wheel will go where ever u want, who did all y our solor im in need of a solor system ?
Sorry - no solar in this build.
Reeeespeect!!!! Made me looking into (german) Rescue Cars - but they do have a different Layout that seems to make it more Work to make it a Camera/Grip / Co Car.
I see that you have your C-Stands loose - so nor carts or so, does it mean you cary the gear piece-by-piece into a location?
Awesome build!!! What lift kit did you use? is this one 4x4?
Nice video. What do you use to transport c stands and combo stands?
Hey love the build, curious about your speed rail box on top. Is it just plywood? how did you secure it. Thanks!
Yea, I was wondering that too
Yes just green treated plywood and 2x4s stained black. It was definitely the cost saving route but has worked really well and would do it again. We used Smitty built roof rack clamps for the top.

The L-Track securing method is so barbaric and yet elegant at the same time.
how are yall so knowledgeable? ive been working in video for 15 years and dont know what 50% of that stuff is. The big production companies ive worked with make it impossible to get in their grip trucks, no way they will have it that organized or with power for chargers.
I notice that whenever I enter a production truck it's smells like people have been having a farting contest. Did you integrate a carbon filter or similar?
Hi Keenan, are you willing to share the total cost?
I hope you guys park that in a closed garage... not because of what's in it, but because I might want to steal the truck from you!
What size lift is that? And what size tires are those? Thanks
"French doors...."
Continues in Spanish :P
Hi can you give some info on the wheels and lift kit on your ambo please
We went with the Action Van lift. For wheels and tires we went with 20in wheels from Fuel and then Fuel AT tires 325/60/20.
Hey @Threefold. I am converting an ambulance to a camper and would love to know the rooftop racking solution you used? Were any holes needed at all in the roof (or additional supports in the middle of the spans)? Which mounts were used to attach to the rain gutters, and what sort of rails? Any info would on that topic be super helpful and very much appreciated!
We just green treated plywood and 2x4s stained black. It was definitely the cost saving route but has worked really well and would do it again. We did not drill any hole in the roof as the clamps we used seemed to be sufficient. We also didn't use any supports in the middle, and havnt had any problems. We've never had more than two people up there at once though so it depends on how much weight you put up there. We used Smitty built roof rack clamps for the top.

Here's some photos when we were constructing it that should hopefully give you a better idea.photos.app.goo.gl/zJWV55cgS3xHCmEA9
@@threefoldtv excellent, thanks for the help and details guys!
What was the cost of the old ambulance. I'd like to know the final cost of everything as well!
From what I've seen online, a used ambulance runs about $20k to $35k. But for a more specific answer, you'd need an answer from Threefold.
We originally paid 7k for the truck 4 years ago. We did quite a bit of the work ourselves, and we haven't kept an exact breakdown of the cost cause it has been a working project for that whole time.
@@threefoldtv you definitely got a great deal on the vehicle. And it is quite an impressive build! Thanks for the tour.
Treadplate, it’s called treadplate.
Why would anyone take the time to Dislike this video.
the license plate is mazimum flex
Doesn’t it worry you that the ambulance no doubt has spooky haunted paranormal spirit ghosts living inside?
Great job on the gripulance truck, or is it ambugrip? Next step, attach a crane to the top and make it a Russian Armbulance.
How much did that cost? - aprox ? 20K - 30k?
You 100% did not need to put a lift on that. But I'm not mad about it.
It's not a truck.
That 'wierd green floor' was linoleum, an eco friendly product. It would have been much easier to clean, very durable, and cushioned just as well as your rubber gym floor. Not sure why this was changed.
All your exterior storage small cabinets could have an extra shelf put in to be more efficiently packed. Seems like a lot of extra space in each.
"It works very GOOD for us" is wrong grammar. Seems to be an American disease.
Try "It works very WELL for us". Your English teacher will be happy.
Nice build for a mobile studio! Well done.
why did you guys repost this video??? This is an old video.
Hmmmm. Are you sure?
@@threefoldtv key phrase being "in depth" and the other video was 2 minutes long. But I too thought it was the same video as before.
Should we put "in depth tour" in the title?
This guy is too annoying to watch.
yet you are here long enough to shitpost
converting ambulance is not the smart way to do it. It always looks like one, isnt very professional
