That's been there for a while. I wonder about it's original use. I notice the "Recycling Station" painted on the side. In that era reclaimed oil was a common product. Possibly the bed is a large tank or tanks that would hold oil pumped out of a service stations sump.

Thanks for that link Jon. And thanks to all for the pics of the commercial trucks. Most of the larger company owned trucks were scrapped or never saw the same level of preservation that personally owned vehicles did. They were simply tools to do a job, with no sentimental attachment to them...discarded when no longer useful.☹️

I enjoy these pictures of a by gone era and sometimes wonder what all is going on in the back ground. A case in point: The Royal Farms Dairy truck posed in front of the Globe Burlesk  theater. The picture of the moving vans. Was this an ad for a new housing development ?  I notice the Boat being towed by a Convertible gives the vision of wealth for someone. The Lucky Lager truck is in front of what looks like the construction of the LA Subway construction.
