The M900 series trucks have a habit of this it seems. If the batteries are dead or low, DON'T drive the truck without disconnecting the alternator. I have picked up many lately where almost everything electrical is fried, and it is due to a blown alt. One was pumping 63volts at 110amps. That...
Not really restoration, more like modernizing.

Sirens were much more likely to be mounted in the military to ambulances, firetrucks, occasionally wreckers and rarely guntrucks. I've seen photos of them on quite a few wreckers in service.
