1959 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK
Bettei fuel economy, new two-toning and
larger brakes are among improvements in the
1959 Chevrolet Fleetside pickup, one of 139 truck
models in the company’s new line. An economy
six engine gives up to 10 per cent better fuel
mileage, with higher torque at normal speeds.
A further economy carburetor-rear axle option
is available on six-cylinder half-ton models.
Substantial fuel savings in the
Ught-duty range, larger brakes on
the half -ton series, a new optional
power train for 14 heavy-duty
models, and durability improve
ments from engines through axles
are top developments in the ex
panded Chevrolet truck line for
1959.
The model lineup is increased to
139—three more than last year—
on 22 different wheelbases. Gross
vehicle weight ratings range from
AfiOO to 36,000 pounds, with the
sedan delivery increased to 4,900
pounds from 4,100. The 1959 line
includes 96 conventional, 22 low-
cab-forward, 8 forward-control, 6
tandem-axle, and 5 school bus
chassis models in addition to the
sedan delivery and a new luxury
pickup to be announced later.
Generally, the popular, massive,
functional styling of 1958 is re
tained, with a new two-tone pat
tern for Fleetside pickups. Cab
interiors are restyled with a wider
choice of brighter trim available.
Light-duty feature for 1959 is
a six-cylinder engine of improved
design which has shown substan
tially better gas mileage in on-the
job tests. Fuel savings, plus an in
crease in torque at low and med
ium speeds, comes from a cam
shaft design that reduces loss of
fresh fuel mixture during the
combustion cycle. On the half-ton
models even further fuel economy
is attained from a special carbure
tor-rear axle combination, optional
with the economy six.
Rear brake shoes and linings are
widened in 1959 half-ton units to
provide 167 1-2 square inches of
braking surface—an increase of

10 1-2 square inches. The new
brake design also assures better
cooling.
More load space is furnished on
3-4-ton stake models with a long
er rack body which measures 98
inches on the inside or seven
inches more than last year.
The new optional power train
for 14 of the 70 and 80 Series 2%
ton trucks results in up to 12 per
cent greater pulling power and
greater efficiency in a wide range
of hauling operations. Teamed to
gether are a 185-horsepower 348
cubic inch V8, heavier clutch, a
close ration five-speed or Power-
matic transmission, and a 16,000-
pound single or a 30,000-pound
tandem rear suspension.
Added to Chevrolet optional of
ferings this year is a manual five-
speed close ration transmission.
Its closely stepped shift pattern
gives top performance in highway
hauling.
Including the economical six,
Chevrolet truck power plants for
1959 total nine—three sixes and
six V8s. In addition to the two
new close-ratio five-speed units,
there aie seven other manual and
automatic transmissions.
Among important mechanical
revisions contributing to durability
and performance in Chevy’s 1959
trucks are:
A new thermostatically-control-
ed by-pass cooling system for all
heavy-duty truck engines, provid
ing a more rapid warmup, uniform
temperature distribution, and con
stant circulation.
Speed and Adaptability..
