This Is the new Plymouth Com mercial Pick-Up Truck, Just announced. Also available Is a new Commercial Chassls-and-Cab, sn which tha user can mount any type of special body bestsulted to his requirements. Prlcesare lowerthan cor responding models last year.the factory also announced. For maximum safety, bodies and cabs are of solid steel construction. These are mounted on a epecial commer cial car chassis of 116-Inch wheelbase, designed from the ground up for commercial use. Structural foundation of this big chassis Is a rigid, truck-type frame with side ohannelsB Inches deep and five cross-members, for extra strength and durability. Specially featured this year is better load distribution, with the cab mounted three Inches farther forward of the rear axle. This opens up additional load space on the frame, so that this year's steel pick-up box Is a full 6', feet long without lowering the tailgate. Width of the body on the floor is 4 feet. The low floor makes it easy to load and unload from sidewalk or ground level. Edges of the deep flare boards also of solid steel are rolled for added strength. The steel tailgate can be lowered and secured flush with the floor, giving added capacity for extra long or bulky objects. Theengine Is Plymouth's noted L-head design, improved this year for new high-torque performance and specially adapted for heavy-duty, commercial work. The special power plant delivers 70 horse powerat 3,000r.p.m. with rec ord economy, through useof all the famous Plymouth en gineering features for greater smoothness and longer life.
