In the 1970s, ambulances primarily consisted of modified vans and station wagons, with the Ford Econoline and Chevrolet van being popular choices. Many were equipped with basic medical supplies, but advanced life support equipment was less common than today. The design often prioritized space for stretcher transport and basic emergency care, reflecting the evolving standards of emergency medical services during that era. Additionally, some municipalities used converted hearses or pickup trucks as makeshift ambulances in rural areas.
