The front axle and the live rear drive axle hung from longitudinal semi-elliptic steel leaf-springs attached to a steel ladder frame. Single-acting hydraulic shock absorbers were installed at each wheel. The trucks had a torsion-bar front stabilizer that bolted to the front springs. The pickups used semi-floating spiral hypoid rear axle. The 1940 Chevrolet trucks had four-wheel manual hydraulic 11-inch drum brakes and worm-and-sector manual steering. ***If you are viewing this on Facebook Marketplace, be sure to visit our website to view all photos.
