description Chevrolet Corvair Loadside Overview

The Chevrolet Corvair Loadside was a compact forward-control pickup in Chevrolet's Corvair 95 range, introduced in the early 1960s. It used the Corvair's rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-six engine and shared its basic mechanical layout with related Corvair 95 vans, giving the truck a raised section in the cargo bed above the engine compartment. Unlike the Rampside version, the Loadside used a conventional tailgate rather than a side loading ramp, making it a distinctive but short-lived Chevrolet work vehicle.
