The picture is way too distant to give a good ID, but based on the size and location, my best guesses would be either something in the Lycosidae family (wolf spiders) or the Pisauridae family (nursery web spiders). That's the furthest I can narrow your search though, and honestly, I could be wrong. Good luck figuring it out though

Appears to be doing some free climbing on a circa 1940's International or FMC fire truck.

That's actually what I was more interested in! And I forgot to ask the OP what it was, so I'm glad you mentioned it

Hard to miss the Coca Cola red paint. Obviously the arach appreciates vintage quality.

Does it have long palps? It looks a little like Kukulcania hibernalis.
