I did not know that cars and trucks shared the same assembly line.

I guess we all learn something new every day.

That truck cab doesn't seem to match the era of the cars.

Hmm.  The vehicle bodies behind the car body all seem to be trucks, without their doghouses.  Their dollies are running in a channel track.  The car body has its doghouse and is beyond the end of the channel track.

 

In the typical body drop of the time, wasn't the body lowered without the doghouse? Maybe the car body was wheeled into place for the photo.

or change in line set up for that production run?

It's very confusing to me....the car looks like a 1957-59 Custom Royal and the truck looks like a 1948-50 Pilot-House Truck.  

 

I know Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler cars were on the same lines in the late fifties.

 

Maybe this is a custom shop/facory for Dodge. A place where they salvaged vehicles for whatever...lol

Those are just truck cabs, to be mated later to the frames, and doghouse added.  This looks like a body factory, or body storage line.    Was it in the USA?  What did the export trucks look like in 1959?
