I think it's a 1958 Chevrolet Apache 31 Suburban. Any ideas? I've only found 2 photos online that match it (and they were listed as '58 Chevy Apache Suburbans). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Your picture. It looks like a 58 1/2 ton suburban. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 6 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 6 | Thanks T'mater! The weird thing about that plate is that the only number stamped into it is "704-A" which I figured out is the paint code. Would the serial number have been stamped into the plate or just printed on it? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | Maybe some of the 58 owners can clue you in. On my 53 the ser. no. is stamped in the plate on the door jamb and no where else on the truck. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | yes it's a 58 [hood emblem tells], that blue tag is just the GVW tag - the 'vin' will be on a small stainless tag spot welded to the drivers door pillar above the dogleg [starts with 3A, meaning 114" WB 1/2T or 3100], and it should be stamped on the top frame rail around the steering box, but the frame number will be missing the "3A"
the specific model is a 3116, with the clamshell end gate - the barn door style is 3106
