It used to be a USAF R2 "Truck, Crash, Forcible Entry, Emergency Rescue." There were approximately 300 built by ACF-Brill Motors Company with a body by Oneida Body Corp. for the United States Air Force as a aircraft crew rescue vehicle.
Somebody has removed the ladder stowage from the top of the body and replaced the bumpout with flat panels, they have also built a bulkhead between the cab and the rear body...
I have some info about these on my website at:
