WITH REVOLUTIONARY
o&sr TORSION-SPRING
SUSPENSION
THAT GIVES ASTONISHING NEW
SH0CKPR00F
ACTION!!!!!
Chevy's done the next best thing to paving every road in America!
First they threw out the front axle and put in torsion-spring
independent suspension. Then they built wide-base coil rear
springs into most light-duty models, variable-rate leaf springs
into heavies. That made it-a ride that completely eliminates
I-beam shimmy and wheel fight, lets you move faster over
any ground to get more work done in a day.
Brawnier bulldozer build!
They're tougher than any Chevy trucks ever made. Frames
are stronger, cabs 67 more rigid. Front wheels and tires
are precision-balanced. And that new suspension cushions
jars and road shock that used to spell slow death for the
truck's body and sheet metal.
More comfortable cabs!
Easier to hop in and out of too. Many models are a whole 7
inches lower outside. Yet there's more head room inside, plus
more width for Bhoulders and hips. The windshield's bigger,
with a wider, safer sweep of vision. Suspended pedals give
you more foot room.
Big in the power department!
With the industry's most advanced gas-saving 6's. With high
torque Workmaster V8 performance in heavyweights. With
new 6-cyIinder or V8 power available in new Low Cab For
ward models.
More models than ever!
New 4-wheel-drive models and tandems and high-styled Sub
urban Carryalls. It's the handsomest, hardest working Chevy
fleet ever to report for duty. See your dealer for the whole
story and, by all means, take a ride. It's something!
Anything less is an old-fashioned truck!
