DODGE OFFERS 248 TRUCKS IN NEW LINE
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 31.—A com
pletely’ new trucks line of Dodge “Job- basic
Rated” comprising 248
chassis models ranging from 4250
to 23,000 pounds gross vehicle weight
and up to 40,000 pounds gross train
weight was announced today by L.
F. VanNortwick, Director of Truck
Sales of the Dodge Division, Chrys
ler Corporation.
Some models of the new trucks
will be displayed starting January 7
by Boyett Motor Company in Blake
ly, Ga.
A combination of massive strength
and smoothly flowing lines is the
keynote of .styling for the new
trucks. They were designed to com
bine appearance with comfort, safe
ty, performance, economy and ease
of handling.
Front axles have been moved back
and engines have been moved for
ward to place more of the gross ve
hicle weight on the front axle and
provide better weight distribution.
The wheelbase for conventional mod
els through the 2-ton has been re
duced eight inches, while the 2M>
and 3-ton models have been reduced
six inches. The new trucks have
been engineered so that despite
the shorter wheelbases, the cab-to
axle dimensions remain practically
unchanged, making it possible to
use the same length bodies as be
fore.
New ease of handling and driving
has been provided by the shorter;
wheelbases and wider tread front
axle, together -with cross steering,
which is a new feature on all con
ventional cab models. The ( !
cross
steering permits a 37-degree turning:
angle both right and left. Drivers !
now can park or back into alleys
or up to loading platforms with
much greater ease. Road shock
through the steering wheel is greatly
reduced by the cross steering, which
has the drag link running parallel
with thefront axle.
Standard, de luxe and custom
cabs provide more room, more visi
bility, for more safety, and more com
fort the driver.
Seat width has been increased
to 57 1-4 inches to permit three
large men to ride without crowding.
The chair-weight seats provide leg
support under the knees and can be
adjusted seven inches. The natural
back support also is adjustable for
maximum comfort.
The seat cushion utilizes air in
combination with coil springs to pro
vide comfort. A hand control allows
the driver to adjust cushion buoyan
cy to his weight or road conditions.
Comfort in any season or weather
is provided by all-weather heating
and ventilating system which is an
ingenious combination of truck heat
er, defroster vents, vent windows,
cowl ventilator, and fresh air intake.
De luxe and custom cabs have
what is termed “360-degree vision”
through increased glass area and in
stallation of rear quarter windows.
Windshields and windows of the new
“Pilot-House” cabs are higher and

wider, adding to vision and safety.
Drivers can enter or leave the con
ventional cab easily from either side
since the gear shift and emergency
brake levers have been movd for
ward to give clear floor space from
door to door.
Conventional models can be road
.erviced from the left side as the
fuel tank, oil filler, radiator filler,
and battery are so located.
Dodge has seven different engines
to handle the power requirements of
its new line. Numerous engine im
provements have been made.
Braking systems are larger and
improved. Front and rear axles have
increased load - carrying capacity.
Front springs are longer. Radiator
cores have been redesigned to facil
itate better cooling. Exceptional im
provements have been made in frame
construction.— (Advt.)
