The PBX behind this looks like a Western Electric 702 (step-by-step, electromechanical) which were very popular in Pacific Telephone territory at the time. I have a tough time telling 701, 702, and 740s apart. Note that all 1970s-era Rohr Chula Vista images show rotary dials, suggesting step-by-step.

The plugs and jacks look like bantams rather than quarter-inch phone plugs. Do you agree?

In some installations, long distance calls tripped a mechanical counter. There would be a backboard with a bunch of mechanical counters. Each counter registered ZUM Units or something billable. Somebody from Pacific Telephone would come in with a Polaroid once a month and take photos. The photos would be how the user was billed.

You can almost hear that 600 Hz + 120 Hz dialtone...

Where's the fare box?

According to the South Bay Historical Society, this may be part of a widening of Interstate 5 through Chula Vista.

The white car is a Desoto. The power lines give this away as Chula Vista area. I'm tagging these as Interstate 5 construction. Please post a comment below if this is incorrect.
