As an architect, I find automotive design interesting.

Does anybody have any information or images regarding prototypes and design studies relating to the 60-66 pickup?

I've always thought that you could find similar design characteristics in the early 60's Corvairs and the 62-67 Corvettes. The interiors especially. Each has crisp lines running the length of the body and dual cockpit interiors. Were these models designed by the same studio?

I am particularly interested in the reasoning why GM never gave the 60-66 its own stepside bed and If they had a unique bed, what would it look like? I'm sure it was cost.

Other design curiosities that I have are what would a 60-63 AC dash look like?
