They would often model different ideas on the same clay or fiberglass subject, I assume to save time and money. Some were 2-doors one side and 4-doors on the other. And hardtops/sedans, etc.

Gumby drove Tonka trucks; this would be no problem!

I guess its a Corvette prototype guessing what those letters are under the rear split window. They obviously used that roof on the 63 split window and the doors are also set into the roof like that, just not as far. The rest of the car looks like what the T Bird became. Fugly.

Photographic evidence of factory installed Napco kits,being a 3/4 ton with eaton HO52/72 rear would be either 4.56 or 5.14 ratio they didn't bring out the 4.10 gear set for the eaton until the 67 later v-8 auto applications.Most likely 4.56 it was standard in the 3/4 ton,5.14 was available but I think they were special order or 1 ton thing.
That's a 3/4 ton 4wd truck.
A big ole beast! I wonder what diff ratios they would have installed, with a six for power.
