Looks kinda like Larry Widmer's GS. Very interesting "build thread" on his website.

Girl crossing the street on a cell phone is a Time Traveler?

Walking from the corner down in Winslow, Arizona, such a strange sight to see
It's a girl, My Lord, with an iPhone 4...

Google reverse search tells me this photo is from 1948. I checked because I thought she might be listening to one of these, but they didn't come out until 1954,

The Roswell UFO only ~just~ crashed in 1947. Too soon to have transistors already.

I'm assuming that is a 'shop. There's no way for the rear doors to open.

Real crew-cab trucks from that era re-used front door hardware for the rears, making for a really REALLY ugly B-pillar.

And while looking for those images...

Why couldn't the doors open? No hinges? Id think street rod stuff would solve the problem.

This motor had had an emergency crankcase ventilation. Upon opening it up, we found why.

The tops of the doors would have to swing into the cab since they extend significantly forward of the hinges.

Ok. Thanks. Now i can see it in my head and how there would be no way to make it work.

My F250 has those same rims, I think. Of course mine are narrower and have 8 lugs...

Thanks to my crappy W-M radio in the garage that only picks up local oldies stations I was reminded of this after a Herb Alpert tune.

Takes me back to my yoof.

That woman would now be 81, BTW.
