The book St John,Ambulance and Western Australia 1892-1992 has lots of old pics of the vans used

If you contact belmont Im sure they can help you out.They have a Library that will be able to help.They had a Museum in our Perth building so I dont know if that moved/opened at Belmont

I have photos of Wanneroo Divisions Ambulances/First Aid Posts from 81-94.These include a doge and 1970's pannel van ambulance but I wont let them go

Contact Belmont

Our dodge had no red/white stripes was only painted black/white it was a 60's model
Our Pannel Van had red/white stripes....did several priority ones to Wanneroo Hospital (Now joondalup health campus) in this van
Our f100 also had red/white strips there is a video of this Ambulance leaving barbagallo Raceway on a priority one heading to Wanneroo Hospital after a race car hit the wall in a horrific crash in the early 80's.Its the news report from 7 news.You can find that on Speedwest

If it's the red and white markings, I'd hazard a guess it would be the old F250's prior to the Mercs coming on board.
