FORD IRIICK MANY PARTS OF NEW PE®IGN Rugged strength is an important feature of the improved Ford 30 cwt. chassis. Many parts are of new design. For example, the front axle is a chromealloy forging, nearly twice as strong as formerly. The front spring is heavier, with wider leaves. Front radius-rod, king-pins, thrust bearings and wheel bearings are larger. ti«ree*quarter wwating axle Rear construction is also improved. It has a spiral bevel gear of special design, with straddle-mounted pinion. The housing is exceptionally strong. The axle shafts are heavier than formerly, and because of the three-quarter floating design, serve only to turn the wheels, without carrying the weight of truck or load. mw rouMPCEo transmission A new feature is the 4-speed transmission, providing an unusual range of speed and power abundant for moving capacity loads, and ample for efficient service where time is important. LARGER BRAKES Brakes on the front wheels are enlarged to the same size as on rear wheels, providing increased braking area and a high degree of safety. THANKS TO A SCOTSMAN ENGINE EFFICIENCY The four-cylinder engine of the new Ford truck develops 40 horse-power at moderate speed. Nearly its full power is available without excessive engine speed. Especially important is the simplicity of the electrical, ignition, cooling, lubrication and fuel systems. Other Features Unusual in a Truck of such Low Price Other chassis features, unusuai jn a truck of such low price are, the cantilever rear springs reducing unsprung weight and rebound; the torquetube drive, which relieves rear springs of all but their norma] function of absorbing shocks; and the large-sized opening provided for power takeDual rear wheels are available.
