Originally replaced homemade body on a 54 Ford F, in 1961 a Chevy C-60 chassis was installed under the 57 body, which had a sliding canopy (similar to a Bruco) added.
"Early in 1968, SQ49 was rechassied and had extensive body repairs" (from book) sounds like they might have crashed it.
The replacement SQ49 was started in 1972, on a 1972 Chevy COE,but was not put in service until 6/1974. It is listed on roster as 72 Chevy/73 Born.
I think the 68 Chevy/Born gets confused with the 69 Chev C-30/Reading that was in service as Mini-SQ 49 at that time.
