This story from the Hartford Courant is almost 20 years old, but it's the only part 15 AM pick-up truck station (1620AM) that I can recall hearing of. He had cobbled together the transmitter himself. You'll probably want to check out the whole article, but below are the key excerpts.
I kind of forgot about this, havent got around to trying to find what became of him yet..

The transmitter and antenna are mounted on the pickup’s bed... ..Spread out on the seat, his equipment includes a portable disc player, a small cassette player, a microphone ... “You’re listening to Radio Collinsville — Collinsville’s first radio station,” Jacobson says into the mike....
... A mini radio station, Jacobson said, seemed like a cool project. “I found out it might be doable, so I decided to give it a try,” he said. Jacobson scouted start-up plans on the Internet and spent about $2,000 on equipment. He pays a fee to BMI, a music royalties broker, for access to about 6.5 million tunes... ... thinking about providing a more permanent location for Radio Collinsville."
