Indeed. A dream project that is not likely to ever happen (by me) would be to find a '62 Loadside in need of restoration and do what Chevy intended to do / should have done:

The locking toolboxes make it much more useful and the panoramic rear window is just cool. :-)

Of course if someone wants a RARE Corvair truck then they should buy a 1962 Loadside. 369 made.
