Simple radio install (Ambulance)

[julietbravosierra]

As the title says, I figured I'd just share a couple pics of this very simple install I did on a private EMS rig the other day. The truck itself is a 2000 Ford center-mount cot. I believe it was built by PL custom in NJ. I put the M1225 in the same place the Moto astro used to be in. Truck has been used by a smaller municipal 911 service for the first 60,000 miles, and is now owned by the private EMS co.








After a few minutes of searching, I found that there was still an antenna (that rx and tx's awesome) and a cable with a uhf connector ready to go. The simple things in life!

Easy jobs are great!


And that is definitely a PL Custom... I'd recognize that electronics cabinet anywhere.

My former PLC ambo center console was quite similar too, but I think the biggest giveaway is the fact the console actually has PL CUSTOM marked on top lol ;-)

I sorta remembered from looking through the service manual provided with the vehicle...then I saw the sticker LOL

Believe it or not, 65,000 original miles. The old school leather console doesn't mean the truck is old junk. It drives nicer and smoother than my own agency's trucks.
