You save on operating costs. High
compression power in every model saves
you money every mile! The "Thriftmaster
235" engine, the "Loadmaster 235," and
the "Jobmaster, 261" (optional on 2-ton
models at extra cost), deliver increased
horsepower and operating economy, both.
You save extra trips. That's because of
the extra load space you get. New pickup
bodies are deeper ... new stake and plat
form bodies are wider and longer. Also,
they're set lower to the ground to make
loading and unloading faster and easier.
You save time on deliveries. With new
' truck Hydra-Matic transmission, you save
valuable time at every delivery stop. '
And you can forget about clutching . :
J3 and shifting! This proved automatic .
transmission is optional at extra
cost on Vi; and 1-ton models.

You save with lower upkeep, too. New
chassis strength saves you money on main
tenance. For example, there are heavier
axle shafts in two-ton models ... bigger
clutches in light- and heavy-duty models
. . . stronger frames in all models.
You save hours on the road. Thanks to
new high-compression engine power, you
can maintain faster schedules without
driving at higher maximum road speeds.
Increased acceleration and ' hill-climbing
ability let you save time where it counts!
And your savings start the day you
buy. Chevrolet, you know, is America's
1 lowest-priced line of trucks.
And it's also the truck that has
traditionally higher trade-in
value.

derful new things you get in
America's number one truck.
We'll be glad to give you all
the money-saving facts.
