Either for an ambulance or for a the police version of a vehicle that has
the same engine.

 

Back when I was a fireman ('77-'84) all the rolling stock was equipped with
160 Amp alternators. I don't recall the manufacturer but you can stop by
any firehouse and ask.

In the engines (1962 C-1000 (Howe), and 1970 C-700 chassis (FMC) the radios
(city and county) sat on the shelf in the back of the cab. In the rescue
truck (1967 GMC breadtruck chassis) they were bolted to a bracket inside the
cab roof, The 1970 Cadillac ambulance had them behind the driver's seat. I
can't remember where they were in the '76 Dodge 1 ton ambulance . When the
county went to 4 channels we saved money by buying the used 2 channel radios
from other departments and squeezing them in also. By the time we took
delivery of the 1982 Sutphen the county was up to 10 channels and the
separate city band radio. The Sutphen was the first to have a 10 channel
radio. The '62 was then stripped of the ladder body, pump, and PTO, a new
driveshaft fitted, and driven to PA for conversion to a rescue truck. The
old chassis got 2 MPG on that trip. That meant a fuel stop every 100 miles.
The rescue box has since been fitted to a new chassis. The '67 rescue truck
was purchased by a rural department and is still in use.
