Hey Mike...
Update... Owner swears he gave the vin to Chevy in Detroit 20 years ago and a guy called him back to tell him this was part of a 52 truck order for Southern Union Railroad. It was delivered w/out a bed and had a service bed added.

he was blown away to find that I had photos (thanks to the site) of others.
