<VV> Newspaper Article for the FC folks.

[J R Read_HML]

I once saw (over 10 years ago) a very original Rampside that had the 
hardware for the flat floor, but the floor was not in place at the time and 
I was told by the owner that he had it stored at another location.  I 
believe that he told me it is made of wood.  It seems to me like the ramp 
would become more or less useless with the floor in place.  Well, I guess 
you could store some items below the floor.

The truck I'm talking about was for sale at the time and I was looking for 
one.  It was located in Love's Park (near Rockford) Illinois.  He wanted 
more than I could spend and (unfortunately) he had repainted it so that, 
while still very original,  it would no longer be factory stock.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the link... it pleases this Rampside owner

The article states:

> SThe Corvair pickup's load bed was on two levels, low behind the cab, then
> stepped up to clear the engine. Pickup owners prefer a flat load area and 
> this
> two-level floor was inconvenient. A wood and metal Level Floor option

Does anyone on the list point me to more sources for information and/or
pictures of the ³level floor²?
