Here’s the all-new'67 Chevy Pickup! Ifitlooked | any better, we'd have to stop calling it-a truck. It's lower, sleeker, smoother riding and a bear for work. The, new body construction is -engi- neered to inhibit rust and add tottruck life. The. pickup box is al! steel with full-depth, double- . wall side panels. The new tailgate latch works ‘with one hand. The new cab is roomier, more comfortable. And standard equipment. safety features now include: GM-developed energy- absorbing steering shaft, seat belts, 4-way- hazard warning flasher, dual master cylinder - brake system — and many more. So bring on- your tough jobs; the '67 Chevrolet Pickup looks good and is built so well, ne can use it for almost anything!
