I am pretty sure that's an M152 radio truck, essentially an M43 with windows

Correct. It
is an M152 radio truck. It was manufactured solely for the Canadian armed forces. None were ever used by US forces.
Attn NIVEK: I'm sending you a pic of the interior of an M152. Would you be kind enough to post it here for me? Thanks.

Great looking truck you have, those C42/C45 Larkspur Radio's sure add to the feel, I had a C13 mounted in my Ferret a few years back.
well done

Unfortunately, it's not my truck.
I googled "M152" and found the pic on the 'net. The interior pic was courtesy of the RCAF. Guess I shoulda mentioned that!

G'day Bruce...
Sorry I haven't had a chance to get under the truck and get the 1st of the 2 fuel pumps put for you but I'll do so ASAP!!
Question though, have any of your guys got a telomast or spares for it, I recently got given a 27Ft mast (Model/Nato No#) 5985-66-107-9535 and it is in a poor but repairable state, I have been advised that it is part of the Larkspur kit of field equipment hence the question in this thread.
Thanks and Take Care
Best Regards - MM
