That is one weird cab fo-so. I see by the sign it was use by the Civil Defense but for what??
At first I thought it might have been used on the rail road.

I think i might've seen something like this before.
If memory serves me it has an aviation connection.

It might be part of a push me/pull me aircraft tug. headscratch

I like the railroad theory too.

neat, but useless grin made by a 3rd party heavy equipment builder - here's one, a tug fabbed by the Coleman company that pulls/pushes the Mars water bombers in and out of the water here in BC, can be driven facing either way .... Coleman made a lot of airport, military, heavy construction and logging equipment and that "dual cab" was likely from them - note the handholds that indicate it was a good climb above the ground

OK, it's been identified. Now people have started posting funnies. Since this isn't about Stovebolts I'm locking it down.

But before I do, here are a couple of shots of the interior of the Coleman at Pima.
