Air Force M1028A3 Radio equipment

[roveroverme]

I want to put a bracket and the radio equipment back to the spot where it must have been before.
Does anyone know what type of radio gear would normally be installed there?
it bolted ot the pass side floor two phillips head screws in the floor and two on the firewall

Ok after a load of research it seems like an rt 524 was used. Mounted sideways on the pass side floor.
Does anyone know where I can find one? modestly priced?

That connector is not a standard military radio type connector. I bet they had a "base use vhf/uhf" radio in there not a tactical radio. The only issue mount for the "cab" I have seen for a cucv is in the M1010 ambulance. A RT-524 or simialr would take up the entire floor leaving no room for a passenger.

I thought the floor mount thing was some kind of detector and not radio equipment. I had one in a 1008.

It looks like someone had their feet in a spot close to the transmission tunnel , the floor liner is all pressed down and even has cracks there maybe from boots.
The RT-524 dimension is 9x13x15 , that would fit there, but I also noticed the plug. The Truck is a M1028A3 Com shelter carrier. So I don't know if a Base use vhf/uhf radio would make much sense in this type of vehicle.

You mean like a chemical alarm detector?

The thing you had in your 1008, did it look like this?


On my dash there aren't any holes for the remote alarm (hmmmm )

yes chemical alarm, my mount looked different than the ones show in the pics

You wouldn't have any pictures of that unit you had by any chance?

The More I think about it the less a radio would make sense, considering there was a huge box full of that kind of equipment in the truck bed.
