Yes, it is one of the RCA trucks. Chuck Pharis has an RCA he is trying to restore too. RCA made quite a lot of them, but those are the only two that I'm aware of in the USA that have survived. I''ve heard that there is still one in Cuba and possibly others in South America.

In fact, there used to be a ton of remote trucks out there. Sadly, most of them have gone to landfills. If I ever get the Telecruiser finished, I'd like to get my hands on a 1970's or 80's ENG van. That should be a little easier to restore... (I hope).
