Can you post a picture of the front of your truck - bumper/guard setup seem pretty unique
What was the thought behind this design?
Thanks,

Very nice looking truck for sure. You don't see many 710 ambulances. Since we are sharing what is the black bar in the back for as well?
Also would love to see what you did to the inside in the back.

Black bar looks like a ladder onto the roof I think. Rungs alternate up the sides.

What was the name of that 710 variant? Was it a 710MK? Makes a lot of sense. I find the side doors on my 710K are hardly used, after I opted for 710M side mounted seats inside. This van side hard top would suit me perfectly.

Just a shame it's about 7,000 miles away.

What is the thing mounted behind the front bar, right by the Steyr-Puch badge? A snorkel?

Looks like the ladder, technically an "alternating tread device"

Yes, it does look like the oem snorkel from Group 01-36. Take a look here: http://www.pinzgauer.com/showdetails.ph ... 121190312/

What is the story on the gas tank? Looks like a 716/718 plastic tank. Can they be fitted to a gasser?
