Great looking burb! As the owner of a retired military burb, I would be very interested in any information you may find on military service. Please post updates on that. It is my understanding and I am no expert on this, but Suburbans were not the glamorous vehicles they have evolved into today. They had no chrome and were not available in any sort of "deluxe" package. They were very utilitarian. Also, I believe you may have a '51 model based on your vent window/ door handle combo. Again, 60 plus years added to military service can mean quite a few changes along the way. It's a great start, though. Post lots of pics!
