FODEN eka recovery vehicle: what radio fitted?

[covjohn]

Hi,

I've got a foden 6x6 recovery vehicle.

it had some sort of radio fitted and there is some cabling in the cab which I originally thought was part of the radio set up.

I've looked closer at it today and now see it is just heavy duty power connections- possibly for the onboard cooker arrangement.

there is an aerial base on the cab roof and something has been removed from the cab hump.

so maybe it did have a radio of sorts,not sure.

however there are speaker holes in the door panels so maybe an unofficial mod.

it would be nice to combine hobbies/work and fit a period radio set up in the cab.

possibly for use at shows etc.

does anyone know what may have been in there?

heavy duty power cables/holes in floor.

As already suggested in the other thread it looks like a VRC353. The Clansman manual for Foden GS is back on eBay, item 112017026833, but as it's Graham from PTS Norfolk just give him a bell and tell him what you're up to.

The seller is Graham from PTS Norfolk - http://www.ptsnorfolk.co.uk - he'll have most or all of the bits you need as well, so give him a bell first.
