Chevrolet's Corvair pickup trucks sold well in the beginning of 1961, with production totaling 13,262, more than 80 percent of which were the novel Rampside. In 1962, sales slumped to 4,471, with Loadsides tumbling to an insignificant 369. Only the Rampside remained after 1962; its production numbers continued to decline, falling to 2,046 for 1963 and a mere 851 for 1964, the final year of production. That is less than one-half percent of Corvair's total production. By comparison, Chevy averaged nearly that many 1964 Chevelles in just half of a work day! Chevrolet enlarged the Corvair truck's engine from 145 cubic inches to 164 cubic inches in 1964, making this truck even more desirable. Sought after by collectors today, these unique and useful trucks are scarce, especially the rare 1964 model with its larger engine and very low production.
