The word "Suburban" isn't part of the name; the model designation just begins with "S" instead of "T." I'll make an educated guess that this one is an S8M5304A.
supcoach ◊ 2015-04-24 03:28	"the Bus World Encyclopedia of Buses" (pg 99) does make a distinction between New Look Transit models and New Look Suburban models ... There were 35 foot models, the majority of which were produced between 1960 through 1967: Ninety-one more were made between 1968-73..Models were SDH-4501, SDH-4502, SDM-4501, SDM-4502, S6H-4503/4503A, S6M-4503/4503A, S6H4504A and S6M-4504A.. Forty (40) foot models were also produced from 1960 through 1976....Models were SDH-5301, SDM-5301, SDH-5302, SDM-5302, S8H-5303A, S8M-5303A, S8H5304A and S8M-5304A.. So GMC SDH or SDM something......
