Now the green interior color, would that be a military spec? He claims the truck has never been touched. Have you seen any military issued with the same interior color?

Hmm not sure but I see it was originally a 3 spd on column.

Well..it could have been a military rig. I see it was either a 3 speed manual or a powerglide auto. Most military rigs where green and where 4X4.

Looks "touched" to me. The trans hump and floor are still fawn.

I'm thinking someone replaced the steering column. It has 4 sliding windows, I wonder if it has all the seats and Gasp! All 4 window locks?

Look closely at the heater controls, you can see green overspray on the levers and on the plastic that should be black. Overspray everywhere!

do you have a picture of the truck. I see that it says suburban 1 ton on the tag. so then must have been special order as they didn't make 1 ton suburbans as such, but panels. they could have done a spec order for military or they were done through a coach builder.
there is a fellow out in Metchosin who has a 65 chev suburban that was US military and was used out ot the San Diego area. it was also raised about 3 inches. 115" wb
