You can see the difference wherever you look
of trucks
ustice to y

your pocket*
If you beBeve various makes
much alike, ybu aren't doing justice
book. Thera are differences.
A Chevrolet truck welcomes comparison. Look at
the little things on it—latches hinges, stitching in
the upholstery. Notice how strong the tailgate is, the
rubber encased chains that keep it from sagging.
The body 1 flow is lAfule of select wood to eliminate
the rust problem and give you better footing. The lower
ride panda are double-walled; you might dent the
inside but it won't show through.
Chevrolet designs suspension systems to fit your
need. The Hght^luty type is strong on
Another kind for heavier trucks stiffens op as you
increase your load and vice vena. Make sense?
If you are going to need a new trade this year,
you should look at the quality Chevrolet has to offer.
May we bring over a new '68 so you can examine it?
