M35 Installation of (in cab) VRC-46

[AIE1]

I'm trying to install a VRC-46 (in cab) of my duce. The directions I have are for Installation in a 5 ton. I've been told the cabs are the same. The copies of the installation are so faded I can't determine the measurements of the plate that mounts the MT-1029 under the passenger seat. Does anyone have or can provide a picture of the mounting of the support plate?? Measurements would be better, like back of cab to rear of mount plate and sides plate to tunnel cover etc.
Thanks in advance!

Just saw this thread. Did you get it installed?

Guys, I did get the RT installed in cab. On one of the threads someone stated the Mounting base dem's for the SINCGARS (11-5820-890-20-, 7 1/2" from back and 3 1/2" from tunnel cover was the same as the MT-1029. Good thing I set up the entire radio, mount and mount plate. It works out to about an 1 inch from the tunnel cover. If you keep the 3 1/2 dem, your RT524 contacts the passenger seat metal bracket. I like the 7 1/2 from rear of cab, when the mic or speaker is connected to the RT, its back far enough under passenger seat so some big footed person doesn't knock, or step on the wiring connection.
I had the correct bracket for mounting the antenna on the side of the cab, but my cargo bed already had the hole drilled for the bed mounted radios, so I used the cargo bed, plus with west coast mirrors the cab bracket won't work.
I wanted to use the AT912 antenna base , but after installing it, didn't like the way the wire stuck out at the base, so went with correct AS1729 antenna base. See attached
Thanks for your help!
