Careful. There are mods who walk the Earth! 
I had one of those. The side ramp was FABULOUS for loading heavy stuff on a two wheel dolly.
The uneven floor made it very difficult to carry 4 x 8 sheet goods, especially since the tailgate was about 46" wide.
It was basically impossible to install air conditioning (a must for me in Texas).
Mine was a real rust bucket and I ended up selling it off for peanuts at the time of a house move, rather than schlepping it to another location. But it was a great-running little truck.
I always thought those-and the van version-looked cool, but my first van was a 69 short w.b. Econoline.
One thing about those Corvair pickups-or vans or the pre 69 Chevys, Dodges, or Fords-was that if there was an accident, you were first on the scene.

I had one exactly like that. I bought it as my first bass with my own money. Boy, what a piece of crap.
I even bought another way later in life thinking I knew how to adjust and set it up now.
Nope…still a piece of crap.
I sold it.
Not sure if he's loading the mower up on the truck, but he certainly appears to have missed a few spots.
I haven't seen a needle threader in a few decades...
Those are still around and used.
I still have my Sad Sack comic books from the 1960s. His U.S. navy counterpart was Gabby Gob. There were also Sadie Sack, G.I. Juniors, Sad Sack's Navy Gobs 'n' Gals, Sad Sack & The Sarge, Sad Sack U.S.A., and Sad Sack's Muttsy The Talking Dog.
