Offering a.wide variety of sizes
and designed for jobs ranging
from fast metropolitan delivery
service to rugged cross-country
hauls, the new models list many
advances over the previous series.

ventilation and new seat construction. Safety profits by newly developed brakes. . Increased
durability has been engineered
into the chassis through a number
of improvements which extend . :
throughout the line.
In its 1951 models Chevrolet
will make available trucks in 10
wheelbases, including the 179inch chassis added late this year.

Braking improvement is noteworthy on light and heavy duty
trucks. While the hydraulic principle has been retained, the design of light truck brakes in entirely new. In addition to more
braking surface, the brakes are
self-energizing. Less pedal pressure is required for stop. Lining are bonded to the shoes, eliminating the need for rivets.
