Chevrolet Truck
Apart from some functional changes in the 1949s, the 1948-1949 Chevrolet truck was similar to the 1947 model, and in fact, Chevy's 1948 trucks were almost identical to the '47's. To create more legroom for middle passengers in the 3100s and 3600s, the gear shift lever moved to the steering column and the parking brake was activated by a pedal controlled by the driver's left foot, as with Buicks. At midnight the inside of the handle was reversed: you now pull up to open the door.
A switch of cast to precision main bearings was made to increase the durability of the engine, half tons of models got heavier front leaf springs and the four-speed gearbox was now fully synchronized. Otherwise, with Advance-Design trucks selling fast, there was not much incentive for change.
