I really want the worst Rampside in the world so I can drop it over a C4.  Wheelbases are 1” different.

Yow, what are those seats like in the winter or high G corners?

I think I've eaten a meal in the diner that seat came from.

I would modify it so that when I hit the brakes, the rear end would lift off the ground. I'm weird that way.

"High G corners" are not a Corvair truck's natural habitat.

If you could build this where you sit in the bed and drive via a camera on the front, you would win. Or just cut a sight tunnel through the cab.

it would be a partial cab-over.  srsly, look where the driver sits, then consider engine placement in C4.  i think the biggest technical hurdle would be connecting the truck's steering shaft to the C4 rack.   and believe me, if the right rampside comes along before i really hack into the coupe, i will be coming to the challenge with a C4 rampside.

Since the C4 chassis is tied into the firewall how would you make the truck fit over it? I can see cutting off the front of the C4 & using the whole rear end & suspension.

They did one of these on one of those goofy auction shows on Velocity, Dallas Car Sharks. Typical, didn't fix damage on drivers door, just fill it in. Still an interesting vehicle
