Considered a procar?

I'll admit to posting vehicles in this thread for the purpose of generating discussion where outcome is pretty well understood in advance. This Chevy is no such case. Haven't been able to figure out what the original intended purpose was - funerary, ambulatory, or advertising/display vehicle perhaps. Maybe being familiar with foreign coach builders that utilize prominent side glass is confounding the thought process. Odd configuration (and color combination) that someone spent some time/money on at one point.

my guess would be a buss. they had that truck in up to a 1 ton. now with out being able to see the interior it up in arms as to what it was modified for. but the high roof and big glass call out people hauler. you can see the chrome grab bar beside the drivers seat. neat looking rig
