M43 generator

[STSCSS]

Has anybody ever seen a 100 amp generator in a m43 ambulance? Added to the herd this past week with a 1963 m43 that has a 100 amp service and correct rectifier mounted in front of the radiator? Pictures to follow

Well Gus starts like a champ and the 100 amp generator sounds serious enough, going to break out the load tester on it and see if it works. I have included a photo from the auction and will more later today

Looks like a nice ambulance. Military could have made a radio carrier out of it, that would explain the 100 amp system. No civilian agency would have gone through the azz ache of installing it. If the system has a low growl sound to it, it is working. Watch out for the selenium pile rectifiers, they will burn up on you at an inoportune moment.

Might be the way to go to restore this truck. Any body have photos of a M43 as a radio truck?

l looked for photos of this truck as a radio truck with no luck, any other reason for the 100 amp service?
