It also looks like the hangar has been set up for either instruction or display based on the cards standing on the tables. The baloons suggest "special" event of some sort. I don't recognize the make or year of the truck, my ignorance is showing.
Grant..
I would suggest chevvy from the bow ties on the hub caps..
