Not sure which plant, but it looks like a special fleet order body (taxi cab?) being dropped. I enjoy looking at these for originality clues; this one is a little different.
A couple of other details: first, the radiator support is already in place and hoses installed on the next-up chassis. That's usually assembled into the doghouse, which is dropped as a unit. Second, it looks like they shot the assembled chassis with gloss black paint before mounting tires and dropping the engine. I always thought that the frame was dipped in some tar-like substance and the suspension bits were painted.
