Here's a message from Dennis McGuire, Jr.:
This is an out-of-service photo of the X-Calumet Park, IL ambulance, unit 2262. It was eventually replaced by a 2002 Ford/Marque ambulance, which I believe was previously assigned to Crystal Lake, though I haven't confirmed that yet.As for the history of this ambulance, it originally belonged to the Garden Homes Fire Protection District, located just outside of Alsip, Illinois.The image of this ambulance in its original service with Garden Homes was taken by Bill Friedrich.

These photos offer a glimpse into the long and interesting history of these ambulances, showing how they were used and moved between different fire districts over the years. It’s fascinating to see how these vehicles have been part of emergency services for decades, and it's always great to hear stories like this from people who have been around to witness them firsthand. If you have any more information about these units or their history, feel free to share!
