From those who know: "Probably a C-135 Stratolifter (about the same aircraft as KC-135 Stratotanker, but made for transport) and the one behind is maybe a C-141 StarLifter." |

Right, the aircraft is a C-135 or KC-135. You can't see the most decisive detail from here - the refueling boom fixed at the KC-135s aft section. Both are based on Boeing's civilian B-707/B-720 aircraft series. The big yellow box on wheels left of the front wheel is an APU (auxiliary power unit). The truck is difficult to tell from the back, but it could be a Ford F-series or Dodge. |

The truck is a Ford F100 or F150. |

It couldn't be an F-150, because they didn't exist until 1976, and this one is from the early-1960's. |

Looks to be a ‘63. Has the older box but a cowl badge. It doesn’t seem to be a ‘61-‘62 badge style. 1964-1966 have a different style bed. |
