I had one of those old car phones in my State police vehicle back in the 1980s. It was more of a radio phone that a phone, as it had a push to talk on the handset and you dialed the number by pushing buttons. Old style, but it worked.

I think the two-way radio in this truck is most likely a Johnson Messenger 130 or 130A citizens band transceiver: http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/ef_johnson/messenger_130_130a/ad/index.htm EF Johnson styled that CB to resemble Motorola's RCC Car Phone Control Head: http://thumbs3.picclick.com/d/l400/pict/271830187054_/Vintage-Motorola-Rcc-Car-Phone-Control-Head-Radio.jpg

The rectangular box in the middle of the top of the dash covers this unit (image from the actual Craigslist ad): http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee480/JoeAA1GW/DCS%20Driving%20Control%20System%202.jpg It turns out that it's a vintage Cal Custom "Driving Control System": http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee480/JoeAA1GW/DCS%20Driving%20Control%20System.jpg This truck's got some pretty cool features installed.
