that would be sweet to have a door like that on the back of the bus, like a real door, to a house or something

I am on a serious "recon" mission near the Venezuelan border, and I just found wha I believe to be a 53 ambulance, not a big deal there, the thing that has me excited about this find is that it has a factory rear oppening hatch with factory window, the factory cabin separator looks just like the ambulance upper part, but with a regular BD cabin separator bottom, it is not a hack job, what could this thing be???????Ian, have any clues?????I will post pics as soon as I get back to the office in the morning.
