The interior is a gold and white painted cab with orange vinyl and printed fabric seats also original. This truck lived and worked in Northern NJ most it's life as a roofing contractor workhorse and was parked back in the mid 90's. Only 4. 00 units were made in 1962 and there are none left to speak of in this original condition. Barn Find-Original. Any Rampside especially in New Jersey. has been modified or molested in some way or repainted. Not this one. This one is in a time warp! Look at the photos!
 It was originally purchased at H. O. B. Motors in Plainfield. NJ.  and the dealer logo is still mostly in tact on the rear panel. It has 60. 00 +/- original miles on the odometer. The engine was rebuilt by the original owner at 55. 00 miles. It runs. stops. and drives very well for its age. There are Bias Ply tires on the rear wheels and radials up front for easier handling.  It has an amazing 52 year old color patina.  The dash is radio delete but has a ash tray and glove box as the options. The heat works. the wipers work. the lights work. even the cigarette lighter works!  The frame is very solid. It is a tank. The FC Rampside was just tuned up and has new brakes and brake lines all the way around. The gas tank was removed. chemically cleaned and washed and re-installed.  All glass is good with no cracks.  This vehicle has rust. Specifically. the door rockers/steps on both sides need to be replaced and the driver's side bed rocker needs to be replaced.  The floors are solid with the exception of the areas adjacent to the rockers but nothing major. The bed is very solid with only surface rust. No holes. Doors are good and fit and latch properly. Has some dings in the bumpers but chrome is decent.
Here are some things that will need attention for the prospective buyer.  Driver and passenger side floor patches are requiredDriver and passenger side dog leg rocker/steps need to be replaced.   I have replacement dogleg rockers in handDriver side bed rocker panel needs replacement - I have the panels in handThe carburetors need a rebuild and adjustments to run optimallyIt needs new tires all the way aroundIt needs window felts as the windows shake in the frameIt needs shocks al the way aroundIt needs door weather strips once doglegs are replacedThe windshield rubber is all there should be replaced as its dryThe bench seat needs to be re-upholstered
This truck can be driven as a daily driver or lowered. slammed. bagged. as a rat rod or completely restored. It is the perfect candidate as it is unmolested. You never see these trucks anywhere. Yes. you see the Ford Econoline pickups and the Dodge A-100's but it is very rare to see the Chevy Rampside from that era. It was only made from 1961-65 and each year the production numbers dwindled down. If you want to turn heads this truck is all you need. I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible based on the prior owner information. my inspection. and  an auto technician's feedback. It is not perfect by any means but its a true running survivor! Drive it home.
 Make an offer. I might say yes!
