Anthony,
I have had two phone trucks, mostly stripped, and once had the Yorkshire Bell Telephone PW model. Here are my suggestions:
1. Go to "Phil's PW Archives" on this page. Search for "phone truck". You will find lot's of hits with some good info. You can sort by date, etc.
2. Go to "PW Registry" on this page. Search pictures for photos and contact info.
3. Go to "Pictures" link and do the same.
4. Go to ebay and search "Dodge Phone Truck". Someone almost always has a Yorkshire PW model for sale, and they are actually pretty darn accurate.
5. Go to ebay and search for "1952 Dodge paint chips" and you will see the paint chip for Bell Telephone Green. Or email me and I can give you the Ditzler code. There were at least two bell greens as I remember.
VPWs has a Dodge PW booklet with a nice photo of the pole derrick assembly, and a poster showing a phone truck if I remember right.
Eric Brannerman had a phone truck or two in the past and I'm sure he can provide pictures and more info.
Good luck!
