1961-65 Chevrolet Corvair FC Truck and Van Buyer's Guide - Rampside, Loadside, and Greenbrier

Let's take a closer look at an affordable, enjoyable classic truck! The Corvair "FC" trucks and vans were a very unique rear-engine truck platform based on the Corvair car mechanicals, and were produced from 1961-1965. While they share a lot with the cars, the unibody body construction is unique and there's a lot to look out for when you're evaluating the condition of one. We'll cover the big issues to look out for and even show you a too-far-gone example for reference.
