They were the first to feature inde- pendent front suspension—a design that has been perfected through years of experience to give unexcelled ride and reliability. Combined with independent front suspension are rear suspensions tailored to give the optimum com- bination of easy ride and big load-carrying ability. In no other full-size pickups can you find the quality suspension designs backed by years of practical know-how that you get in every Chevrolet pickup. Chevrolet chassis also feature tough ladder-type frames, double-act- ing shock absorbers and self-adjusting brakes. HIGH-STRENGTH LADDER-TYPE FRAME gives 2 firm foundation for the pickup chassis, There are heavy-gauge channel side rails joined by alligator- jaw crossmembers to increase frame resilience and the ability to take the punishment of rough off-road hauls. Additional crossmembers put extra strength into the support areas for the shock absorbers and rear springs. All structural members are fabricated, of extra-high-strength steel BIG SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKES give plenty of stop: ping power with minimum pedal effort. Self-adjust- ing feature ensures full brake action and safety, and eliminates the need for periodic manual adjust- ment. Vacuum power brakes, offered at extra cost, on all Chevrolet pickup models, give the utmost in, easy, sure stopping power under all conditions.COIL-SPRING INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION is a big reason for Chevrolet's recognized superi- ority in ride and handling. The springs fit into the rugged suspension crossmember, deliver a smooth friction-free ride and require no adjustment after installation. Big low-friction spherical joints at outer ends of control arms and large bearing surfaces at the inner ends help suspension adjustments to stay put and require a minimum of care. COIL-SPRING REAR SUSPENSION FOR SERIES 10 ‘AND 20 gives superior ride and load control because of its spe- cial two-stage design. A single set of springs gives softness for smooth ride when lightly loaded, plus firm control for top pay- loads and extra durability. Two-stage action is ac. complished by reducing the number of active spring left) close and become inactive under moderate loads, giving extra spring stiffness and firm load support. Under light loads, all spring coils are active to give greatly improved riding qualities.HIGH TORQUE ENGINES Modern Chevrolet truck engines are built with the most advanced manufacturing techniques and materials. Precision molding processes produce cylinder head and block castings of uniformly high quality, strength and dimensional accuracy with substantial savings in dead weight.
