Interesting find!
I did a quick search, and discovered this:

Apparently, "Rebel Rider" is F-105D 60-452.....from the looks of this nose art, this is either the exact plane with a lot of the paint faded, or someone has exactiy duplicated the painting. My money's on it being the correct aircraft. I didnt find much on the service life of the plane, although I did only do a very quick search.
If anyone is in the Newton, KS area, there is a small airport there. There's a hangar to your left as you drive onto the grounds, and it reminds me of this. The last time I was up there, it was something like 2002, but they had a wing of an F-8 Crusader in a crate frame. They had a few TA-4 fuselages in various states. There was an F-18 hornet that was in very rough shape, and the fuselage of an F-16 in the back. A lot of other parts and pieces too....As I recall, there were two F-8 Crusaders flying with a company in Arizona.....these were bought, I believe by PAul Allen for the museum in Seattle. These were the last flying Crusaders in the US. Att he time that this sale took place, I was living in Kansas. I happened to be on the highway one day and I saw a flatbed truck hauling an F-8 fuselage, it was one of the Thunderbird Aviation planes. Easy enough to tell, by the markings on the tail. That truck was heading north, through Wichita, and not more than a couple weeks later, I went up to that Newton airport and found that Crusader wing in a built-up crate frame, just sitting outside the hangar. Man I would LOVE to see one of them in the air again...
