I DUNNO which was more DANGEROUS-The Corvair pickups, or the Jeep "FC" Forward Control series of the early Sixties..One had ALL the weight on the rear end, the other had all of it on the front axle.. Or the Chevy-Van series from C. 1965-69 that had the motor up front, over a crude beam axle.. But Ford & Chrysler had similar designs... They were MODERATELY safe as long as they only had a 4 or 6 cyl motor.. But put a small V-8 up front, & you were ASKING for trouble..
