SWB, so G10 bodystyle ChevyVan
By the front, very early on, '71+ MY I guess.
By the backview, car body seems to be widened. Note the difference between wheels and car body. May be some special ambulance version.

1971-77 Chevy Van, and ambulance manufacturers did do things like that to vans in the 1970's. That was before they started offering cutaway models for other people besides RV manufacturers.

What surprises me(but probably shouldn't) is that they did this to G-10's. I'd expect something like this for a G-30, maybe a G-20 at the lightest.

The Superior "wide body conversion" was simply called the '61', had an additional 14 inches in width and a raised steel-supported fiberglass roof. It was available on Dodge Maxivan 300 and Chevrolet G-30 chassis, introduced late in the 1972 model year. The same technique was used for Superior's Dodge and Chevrolet V-1700 and V-1800 Motor Homes.

A G-10 is indeed very unusual - but not impossible, as Superior had a long tradition in specialized coachbuilding and was flexible enough to process special orders.

The badge says 30.

Edit: The shorty vans were available in all weight classes. 110 & 124 were the two wheel bases offered at that time. The latter being the most commonly seen for ambulances. We have a few shorty ambulances listed.
