Default Ford ute

It's a Ford ute David. A lot of these radio installations were AD HOC , that is , done by the units themselves . I've seen so many different tables and the antenna base is mounted anywhere they felt like it . The seat looks like garden seat from a back yard . its not a military item . this is typical of Aussie radio trucks of the time .

It looks like a 12 cwt car based ute cos its looks pretty short in side , not long .

I have one of those bases , they are rare as rocking horse S**T .
