Hi John,
Yes it caused a bit of a stir, just got the manual out and going to check the front end over.
I was in contact with Joe and was planning a trip to see his ambulance but I've not heard from him for a while.
You certainly seem to be making a good job of your 50s Chevy. Think that might be my next search as although the 41 is my favourite to look at the 50s trucks can be actually be used on modern roads, and are pretty nice as well

I'll have the truck up at Glamis show so might see you there.
Cheers
D
