I guess it was built with what he had laying around.

This photo was taken in 1959 after a truck loaded with explosives caught fire and leveled most of the downtown area of Roseburg, Oregon. Roseburg today is a big hotrod town; I wonder if that AD truck in the background is still somewhere in town?

Yes and much of old downtown roseburg looks same except for homeless roaming around.

There may be more pictures from that blast here in this thread. The story was very tragic, and as I remember the truck driver blamed himself for the damage despite the trucking company being found at fault.

Here's a truck that's still doing what it did.

"Mr First in Line" used this '51 Panel to drive from Yuma to Indy in time to be the first at the 500, for 12 years.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I looked hard at the Panel truck driven by "mr first in line" and cannot believe i actually drove one of these non stop from Hollywood CA to Rochester New York in 1969. 3 of us taking turns 2 sleeping in back. All at 45 MPH ( rod knock at 46 MPH). Rough trip, but back then 19 year olds could take anything.

That TF tow truck is a beauty. Thanks all for the cool pictures. Man that explosion is unbelievable.
