Looks like an F-Series to me.

1968-9 Mack FL-700L. 300 V-8 Mack engine backed by a Mack Triplex. It was a fast truck (Could cruise at 75-80 easily) and it got good fuel mileage. Good furniture truck. Sold for 20.5k in 1970.

It's a Becker Mexico TR radio capable of receiving shortwave, which might have been nice in the middle of nowhere back then.

The movie implied that the Becker Mexico TR's shortwave capability made it a two-way radio, but I'm pretty sure that if they were using two-way radios they were using CBs. Sears started selling CBs for vehicles in about Spring Summer 1969 catalog.

It was earlier than 1969. In 1966 Sears Spring Summer catalog you could buy a 23-channel CB.
