Chevrolet has proved its right to he
called America's most economical
truck. Owners have found that on a
ton-mile basis Chevrolet costs less for
gas and oil, less for upkeep and less
for service than any other truck —
regardless of the number of cylinders.
And price-cornpurison will show that
this hig, sturdy Chevrolet Six is one of
the lowest-priced trucks you can buy.
