Radio in an M43 Ambulance

[riderdan]

Curious as to what radio would have been in an M43 ambulance and where it would have been mounted. Anyone have info/pics? Also wondering about how/where the antenna would mount.

I would say an RT-70. I could be wrong but looks to be of that period. A couple of nice examples on Ebay right now with lots of accessories.

I’d seen that one, but thanks. Since the ambulances don’t have troops seats (where the M37 radios mount) and the space between the front seats needs to be kept clear for the door to the back, I can’t figure out where it might go. The litter racks take up the rear area from the back doors to the back of the cab, so…
Somewhere there has to be a photo (or even a TM) that explains a this. I’ll keep looking I guess.
