Anyone in PA?

Furthering my Quest for a Medium Duty Ambulance I found one I really like. But I cant get to PA. Below is the couple places they have their trucks... I hate to ask since I'm so new here but is there anyoen who lives near these places that would be willing to see this truck for me? It's like looking at a car. Albeit a 20,000lb car, I just need a vid of it running and a lot of pictures if you see any damage on it....

Thanks!

The place where the truck is advertised in:

Schuylkill Haven, PA 17972 Bird-in-Hand, PA 17505

Bird-in-hand is not far from me, and a pleasant place to visit. However, with the impending apocalypse of the "White Death" descending on the mid-atlantic, it may be MONTHS before such a trip can be contemplated.
I stopped by a local "super" store this morning to pick up a few items ( NOT stocking up for the storm). The aisles were almost a comedy of the oft-repeated bread, toilet paper and milk line. I saw a few loaves of bread, NO milk remained, and the toilet paper was also larging all gone.

Nobody actually lives in Bird-in-Hand; that is why it is so close to Paradise.
Actually, the Amish do live there, but then, again, they don't do computers, or cars.

"Zelie" as they refer to it here for short, is about 22 miles due north of me. I am about 12 miles NW of Pittsburgh. Southwest PA

Schuylkill Haven is about 6 hours east in PA, the other end of the state.

I would be willing to look at it, but we just had 22 inches of snow and a lot of the roads are still not cleared. We are expecting another 8 inches or so Tuesday night into Wednesday. I also need to get my taxes done and finish my annual audit at work before I can consider any such fun and entertaining activity.

What is your time frame? Are you in a hurry for this? Is it something that someone else might jump on?

I'm not in a huge huge hurry, it's one of the things that if someone else buys it there's another one out there sort of thing, but it's the best one I've found so far. going out in the snow I wouldnt want anyone too do, it's too dangerous and I know Y'all are still digging out from the last storm and more coming.. just let me know whenever your free and I can Make arrangements with you and the co. that has the truck

Purdue salvage here in Lafayette has a beautiful 97 ford one ton ambulance for sale with 45 miles and the 7.3 diesel. I went by and looked at it on a whim a week or so ago. I am not sure what the last day of the auction is but it can be found online under Purdue Salvage and bid on line as well. They take excellent care of their vehicles. I have no idea what it will go for. It appears to have one rf tire which is low on tread. the rest are very excellent conditio michelins. lovely paint and interior.

I was looking for a Medium duty with a 170" Wheelbase, it's about 16-20', I'll be turning it into a small Travel type thing. a one ton likely a type II or III is just too small
