I just put up four prints from Pikes Peak on my store. Two of Ken Block, two of Rod Millen's Tacoma larrychenprints.com/
so i have my great grandfathers rampside in the back yard, that im preparing to extract, presuming it doesn't snap in half.. your assessment of the major structural components is actually quite reassuring. I also have the front half of his 1933 pontiac v-8. If I decide to forego the idea of making it a daily pickup to replace my 04 silverado for many local tasks, this may be a very effing fun idea to play with. it's like it's designed as a race vehicle, not a race converted vehicle. The idea of an engine bay an entire team can stand in and work in such a setting is incredible. For the individual 6'4" neanderthol hacker like me, having heaps of space mostly for offloading engine and performance or fuel management or conversion systems and still being able to walk around it is... intriguing.
What a great story and a fantastic ride. The man that owns this crazy vehicle, Wayne, is truly one of the nicest people on planet earth and he built a killer ride. Fantastic story. Build it and they will come. An honour to know you Wayne.
Thx brother, I really appreciate that.
@@dickindustriesinc You deserve all the accolades, DW.
Thank you Larry, I am extremely grateful & stoked to have met you. Thank you for making this Video, I LOVE it.
Absolutely awesome build friend. I gave you a sub.
Superb amount of creativity and function 👌
Hey Wayne, great build man. We actually just pulled a 1964 Corvair Greenbrier out of a neighbours building here in Ontario a few weeks ago. It was a Tennessee truck so its never seen salt. He has just let it collect 7 years of dust. We race Subaru's in TimeAttack and were thinking about dropping a subie engine in the back but this LS swap could be the ticket. I might reach out to you for some been-there-done-that perspective. Cheers man.
@@arumrunner Subaru all wheel drive in a corvair would be awesome
Such a sick build Wayne. Love it! Idaho Falls came thru in a big way with this gem. What are your plans for the van? Hopefully more of this!
When I was a Kid in North Dakota the 70s, A friend of My Dad built a Vair Ramp with a 413 and pushbutton.. wild stuff.
Absolutely beautiful build. The placement of the ignition key is perfect. The headers show the artwork of the fabrication put into the build.
Masterpiece of a video as usual Larry. Love it and the Corvair. This is some old school hot rodding at its finest.
Wait, I had this as a Hot Wheel car in the 60s. It was called the Deora and it had a surfboard on the back.
Thing is a piece of fine art that is usable. Nailed it 100%!
That is freaking awesome! I have a '62 Rampside that exact same color combination! They are so useful and badass! I've hauled a Honey Bucket porty potty, in my '63 Rampside! They actually made some Corvair cars (not FCs like this) in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, until 1966. But all Corvair FCs were made in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri. Awesome job on this one!
So nice to hear he remembers all the people and shops behind this old beast
That is THE COOLEST Rampside I have ever seen !!! I want a ride !!!!!
🙌 we can do that! 🤓
LOVE THIS! I met Wayne at a Corvair show near Los Angeles today. Great guy, outrageous vehicle, jolly good fun. God bless this young man for his energy & creativity!
🙏 thank you
I have wanted to do this with a Vintage VW Combi Van since I was 16 back in the 80's with a SBC. Thank you so much for Covering this in depth. I am in Awe!
I know exactly where this Corvair was built and saw some of the impeccable craftsmanship that went into it
Absolutely STUNNING Truck. Kudos to the team that created this. Truly impressive :)
One in Larry's best videos yet. He seemed genuinely blown away by this build. Wayne is pretty disarming and humble. Definitely bring this to "This Vs That"
Thank you!
6:53 Vice-Grips holding the tailgate shut. Nice touch. Would like to hear more about the perforated valve covers.
Coil covers Fabbed to look like BBC valve covers LT Industries Lethbridge
@@dickindustriesinc - Interesting. What's the difference between coil covers and valve covers?
I'm so proud to have Wayne as a friend and personal consultant for all things Canada related. He introduced me to Letter Kenny in March of 17.
Hahaha 🙌 good times brother!
Oh yes! My best friend Alistair Davies at Off Road Canada has given me close ups of this beautiful machine. I love the exhaust work and the copper piping
So cool. We had a 62 Corvair Rampside pickup, pulled a trailer with a custom topper on it. Traveled to Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Texas, Arizona from our home in Campbell California. BTW they were very useful, several appliance stores had them a delivery vehicles in Santa Clara County and the bay area. Thank you Larry.
Cool personal history man, I love hearing about people who grew up around these.
8:50 Best battery box ever. what an amazing design and machine. really glad to have seen it on your channel thanks for the content
🙌
Especially for us old timer's whom used to pour Coca Cola on corrosion buildup on battery terminals. .....lol
Some crazy Canuck engineering going on there. My sister used to live in Lethbridge…and Calgary …and Lake Louise, we are from Ontario and I salute a very cool one of a kind build, Larry is the Man by the way !
We’re in Lethbridge 🙌
Hand's down one of the coolest build's thanks Larry
🙏
Pure! Unadulterated! Fun!
I haven't smiled that much watching a car related video EVER!
Hahaha cheers!
My Grandfather had 2 of these and I always wished he kept them but he was sick and needed to sell them for medical bills. Hope to find one someday.
LSs are so much fun to drive. You can thump on them all day long and they keep going and going.
Once again the Corvair makes the day!
i love Canadian ingenuity! Its a beastly work of art.
Absolutely the coolest car i ever seen
Yes!!!! Thank you so much to photo shoot this!!
You are the crumple zone in this thing.
I absolutely love it.
Absolutely beautiful and wicked mixed with the right amount of no way simply awesome. Amazing build bro
Haha thx 🙌
i love it ,im a mid engine build guy myself,click on the little round picture of the black C10 on the left of this paragraph and you can check out a different type of mid engine b uild ,its a 69 C10 454 mid engine street legal, thats a great build on that rampside covair.
Super cool.............. 👍👍👍👍
I have a model car these Corvairs. it’s been my favourite since I got it and this made me go thru a boz from when I was a child to find it.
😂🙌
That beast is badass !!! TY larry for featuring it
What a UNIT of a build! 🤝🤝🤝 -Edgar
🙌 thank you!
I keep seeing builds that makes me want to build my Childhood dream car. A rear engine El Camino
here in Australia, we have lots of utes lying around. Have always wondered what would happen if you put the engine at the back where the bed is 😂
I am totally in love with that truck...😍 Thanks Larry...👍
Awesome find!! Thanks for sharing 🫠
This is such a cool, awesome and unique build.
🙏
LS3 baby. Great motor choice!! Love it.
That is an awesome build man I bet getting rid of the old suspension was first on the list the generation before it was better but still that’s just great set up
"We are first on the scene of an accident." 😂😂😂
What an awesome machine! 🚙
Thanx brotha for saving a beautiful machine from the dead . 👍🏽
Heart n soul baby!! That’s what the owner Big DW put into this build.
💯
Form follows function! Just beautiful!!!
Shout out to all of the Canadian Hot Rodders out there - especially in Alberta! This is one cool piece
Now thats my kind of Rampside!!!!
Beautiful. -Even without an expensive paint job..
This is beyond cool for so many reasons.
VERY BEAUTIFUL WORK GUYS
Nothing like corvairs n fieros I build them too. Very fun forsho
weight distribution can be shifted by raising the front on takeoff.
Sickest build Ive ever seen. Ive always loved these trucks. This thing is so sick. Thanks for sharing. I so want to build an old weird hotrod not something you see every weekend. To the owner about tires check out Falken Ziex tires. They are great tires and pretty sticky
Thank you, I will check them out!
Larry, You need to hook up with Matt from Matt's Off Road Recovery/Winder Towing out of Hurricane, UT. and do a feature on his custom off road 4x4 Corvair wagon.
What fun. Happy for this man.
WHEN I FIRST SEEN THE RAMP ON THE SIDE I THOUGHT FOR SURE SOMEONE IN A WHEELCHAIR MADE THIS AND I WAS PUMPED. SO I REALLY WAS KINDA BUMMED BUT IT'S STILL ONE AMAZING WHIP. PROPS MY NINJA 🥷. WHAT A SICK RIDE MY BROTHER.
This is nuts. Great video!
Definition of a build right there.......
The owner is absolutely awesome 🙏
Definitely seems like a really cool dude.
Thank you 🙏
A man of true vision, faith and thankfulness. Just a regular guy paying his dues with hard work.
U can't get more Canadian than this. Loved the dude
🙏 thank you
I thought this looks like a local car. I watched the video and it is the local car - in Las Vegas!
Beautiful ride !
Cool truck, Cool Guy 😉👍
CORVAIR! Love it. I own a 65 coupe. sweet..
Sweet music nice ride
Absolute monster
🙌
I swear I've seen a steering wheel like that on the Vice Grip Garage channel. Idk if it's the same one but I KNOW I've seen it.
Also if this doesn't become a hot wheels car at some point I'll be a little mad
I have video of this thing drag racing in Lethbridge. Was my favorite for sure so god damn obnoxious
Awesome Build!!!
It's neat the way that it is!
This car is too wild, should be on everything everywhere all at once
😂🙌
If you like this ride , should check out Matt's off road towing. He took a wagon and made it 4x4 with a nice cage in it . 🤔
Matt would 100% of this build.
tested the air flow with a hockey stick ,only in Canada eh!
Fantastic creativity
Wayne is a personal friend. 🙌
🙌
Sick build
Good work man
Now that is sweet, love it !
I love this build
My green briar van had an olds 455. Ha.
I follow this guy's channel, been looking forward to new videos... Wonder if they are coming.....
Soon! 😅🙌
Wayne Dick, how are ya now? Beautiful truck, love the mid engine Corvairs
Goodnyou? 😂 thx brother

HotWheels needs to do this car.
That thing is so cool.
Looks so totally awesome!
Thank you 🙏
Yea 🇨🇦 👍
amazing build
It should go on Jay Lenos garage and see the difference between his orange one and this one. And see if he likes it or not .
Sign me up! 🤓🙌
Great ride.
what a awesome truck, whats the weight distribution on each corner ,,,
We’ve got to put it in the scales again, that’ll be part of our next Rampy vid
Great Find 🔥🍻
I helped my uncle load one of these and haul it to the crusher tried to get him to at least keep some of the trim and what not but chose not to
Someone had the Deora truck inspiration 😊😎
Excellent
Very cool!
Place your bets on how many people are taking build notes for other car/truck builds
