During the recent Canadian west coast heat wave, I was driven underground, living in our basement. I did manage to draw a few trucks, however.
Here's what @mozarts_ride says about his photo inspiration on Instagram:
1961-64 Chevy Corvair 95 Truck ... I spotted "Miss Rosa," a wonderfully restored Corvair 95 pickup with the famous "rampside." One never knows what they will find while driving the back roads of west Texas. She looks very different, when compared to today's trucks, but this little truck was popular for a short period of time. Would you drive a truck like this? 😎

."If Chevrolet's Corvair proved not to be the stake through the heart of Volkswagen that the GM brass hoped it would be, you couldn't blame the division for lack of effort. Chevrolet spun out the lineup in every direction it could think of, offering not only coupes, sedans, convertibles and station wagons, but also a line of forward-control light trucks that included two pickups, the Loadside and the Rampside, to take on their counterparts from Wolfsburg." ..... "Fully restored, factory-correct Rampsides and Loadsides are beginning to appear more frequently at shows, and the best examples are commanding $10,000 and up." (Hemming Motor News "1961-'64 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside and Loadside" by Dave LaChance)... Now you know the rest of the story...
