As an EMT, I respond for ambulance calls quite a bit. The squad authorizes us to have two-way mobile radios so I have a 25 watt VHF radio to be installed in the truck. This one gets used pretty regularly so it has to be well positioned so I can read the display and reach the controls under any conditions.

This truck has the full center console with four front cup holders. They are removable and there is a lot of space under them and in the bottom of the main storage area.


I removed the front pair of cupholders and mounted the remote head for the radio to the other pair.


I still have to install the rest of the radio and run the cabling for it, but I'll do that when I do some other electrical work. I'm still trying to figure out a good place to hang the microphone on the dashboard.

When time and money permit, I am going to add a remote camera on the back of the truck and possibly a second one high on the back of the cab.
