My first 3 crew trucks were Rampside 95 Corvairs when I started my property management business 38 yrs. ago.
They were mules & never threw a belt - all 3 carried spare belts/tools, just in case.
Two were 2 spd. autos, one was a 3 spd. stick.
Eventually, bought 4 new F150s - sold the beat-up Rampsides to Corvair repair shop owner.
.
That ramp was great for heavy equip't like 36" platform mowers, compressors, etc. Saved our backs.
.
BIL had a new Turbo Monza 2 door (180 hp?) - fun car to drive & was the quickest car in our town (14,000 population ).
.
Funny - He would sometimes toss a few cement bags in the front to lower it for looks. Raised hell w/the tires but looked cool.
