To fit a more modern radio into the older vehicle you might very well have to replace all the electrical/power system that would be used by the radio. That's even before we start talking about compatible fittings to connect to the power supply and antenna.
It would be far easier to take infantry backpack radios and stick the antenna out the hatch... with all the problems that gives when under fire.

Exactly. Power supply, mounts, fittings, voltage, amperage, antenna.
It is a whole system. The radio mount isn't just a frame. Every goes through the mount and then the radio. Cables, antennas, even the Hertz from the power supply has to be compatible or it does not work.
