FC Spoiler? Any pics?
Wrapping up a 63 Rampside renovation, w/140. Any recommendation on adding a spoiler to front end for handling?

Welcome to the Corvair Forum!
I found this 2014 Motor Trend article about a Corvair Greenbrier that included an owner-installed front air dam... a modification that could be adopted to your 1963 Rampside. I hope you will post some pictures of your completed project, and tell us more about it!

Owner Allen Bristow still camps frequently in his Greenbrier, having racked up some 50,000 miles crisscrossing the country. Along the way, he’s made several practical upgrades, including an alternator, radial tires, a camshaft from the 95-hp engine to boost low-end torque, EMPI side steps to aid ingress to the front seat, and a front air dam from an S10 pickup, which he says dramatically reduces buffeting from side winds and passing big-rigs. And even after 86,000 miles of camping use, the dealer-installed plywood furnishings remain unbelievably rattle-free.

It looks like the '84 S-10 base model is what's referenced by the images. Something like $10. at rock auto, plus shipping...
