Am m I I HEWS for truck owners who need a new one Things Chevrolet has developed since the last time you bought to give you more for your money: Double-wall construction. This fea ture of Chevrolet cabs and the Fleetside pickup body has two advantages. Insula tion and sound-deadening material is sandwiched between the two layers of steel in the cab to give you more comfort; in the body, the lower inner wall acts as a buffer against load damage, preserving the outer appearance of the truck. Suspension to fit the truck. Conven tional half- and three-quarter-ton models have independent front suspension with variable rate coils in the rear. Variable rate coils do not "bottom out" as readily. Mediums and heavies have I-beam suspension with variable-rate leaf springs. It automatically stiffens as the load increases and vice versa. It means a smoother, flatter ride regardless of load, a better handling truck. The right engine. Chevrolet never has been in better position to give you the type and size you need for maximum efficiency. Today there are many dif ferent capacities of gasoline and diesel Chevrolet truck engines fours, sizes, V8s. Stronger frames. Every conventional 1964 Chevrolet truck has a ladder-type frame. This type is more resilient, better able to give with the load and terrain. Its simple design also makes it easier to mount special bodies on the truck. Its riveted side rails are stronger. Greater model selection. This time you're going to find it a simple matter to pick the exact type of Chevrolet truck for the kind of work you do. In delivery trucks, for instance, in addition to regu lar panels and pickups, we have eleven different sizes of ready-made walk-in vans, some with full-width rear doors. Quality and value. Chevrolets today are a lot more truck than your money bought the last time, and yet the price tag is just about the same as 5 or 6 years ago. Call your Chevrolet dealer for infor mation or for a demonstration. Quality trucks always cost less! 1964 CHEVROLET TRUCKS SHOWN ABOVE are the mangled can following fatal wreck which resulted in five deaths, includ four prominent Marshall citizens. The wreck oc curred last Friday night about two miles south of Fletcher in Henderson County.
