Default Help needed 1958 Suburban panel truck

How can I research this vehicle? The VIN I tried to decode online came back as unknown. V3A58010xxxx. I've Googled this to no end, and find very little about this truck. It was just acquired as a project vehicle. It apparently had one owner until about a decade ago, and has sat outside since. It was originally a laundry truck in California, then moved to Michigan. It seems to have the original 283 V8, (it starts and runs!) and the 4 speed Hydra-matic transmission, complete with the original instructions on how to use the transmission in a pouch on the visor. Is there anyone who can tell me what I have here? Thanks, Mark
