Seems like this topic was just on either the NAPCO list or the Suburban list.
Per the comments, there weren't any 1 ton Suburbans from the factory, but
there were shops that would do custom conversions for military, school, etc
applications. It could be one of those or it could be a hack. The March
Classic Trucks has a F*rd Ranger article that showed a panel to "suburban"
conversion available in 1950 from one of the many commercial modifiers.
