1969 Chevrolet pickups
With a bold new stance and a bright new outlook on work
Here’s a quick preview of the trucks you’re going to see a lot more of in the months ahead — Chevrolet’s 1969 fleet of pickups, light-duty chassis-cabs and 4-wheel drive models.
Fleetsides, Stepsides, campers… all with the bold new front-end design that promises uncompromising performance and durability to truck owners.
Inside you’ll find the details. You’ll see why Chevy’s double-strong construction adds to truck life. How work-proved independent front suspension and coil springs provide a road-balanced ride no other trucks can match. What new job-tailored power teams can mean to improved truck performance.
And you’ll see how Chevrolet has brightened up truck appearance and comfort with a host of new trim and comfort items both inside the cab and out. All in all, it adds up to another great year for truck buyers, how ever you use your truck.
’69 Chevy Fleetside isn’t just the best-looking pickup on the road
You see more and more Chevy pickups in the most unexpected places these days. And why not! They’re styled to look well in any surroundings.
We give Chevy pickups strength without the trucky muscle-bound look… stamina without useless bulk. Pure workpower.
And you’ll find a Chevy a pleasure to drive whatever the purpose. Let’s say you select a CST (Custom Sport Truck) … or a long wheelbase Longhorn pickup that’s made especially for king-size camper bodies. Just add things like air conditioning and bucket seats, and you have more luxury than the average second car. Chevy pickups are not only wife-approved. They’re favored by the whole family.
Let your Chevrolet dealer tell you all about the smooth ride, the long-lasting toughness and particularly the low cost of a new Chevy pickup. After all, good looks aren’t everything!

’69 Chevy pickups: Try the pickup ride that’s got the others all shook up.
Chevrolet pickups are designed and built to shake up the competition. Not you.
First, every one gets a fully independent front suspension with modern ball joints. So each wheel can soak up road shock without passing it along to another part of the vehicle. Or along to you.
Then of all the popular pickups, only Chevies get deep-coil springs at all four wheels on most models. Up front, teamed with double-acting shocks that really know how to smother vibrations. In back, two-stage coils for a softer ride when empty, firmer support when loaded — computer-refined for smoothness.
And you get these suspension advantages at prices as easy to take as the ride.

Sure, a ’69 Chevy pickup is better looking and easier riding. Want to make something of it?
Like a camper… or a work truck… or a 2nd car?
Go ahead. It’s game for anything.
Camping, for instance. There’s a model to tote most any size camper.
Even those cottage-like 12-footers with Chevy’s Longhorn. Reason is: Longhorn has an extra long wheelbase. And extra big 8 1/2-ft box.
Hard work is right up Chevy’s alley, too. There’s enough power to out-muscle most any job. Six or V8 power.
And such things as double-steel construction will keep Chevies on the job longer.
For second car uses, Chevies offer first car comforts. Like: thick foam seats. And a smooth car-like ride. Plus extras that run the gamut from power steering to plush feet-pleasing carpets.
So you see, Chevy pickups come any way you like. See for yourself. Make it down to your Chevrolet dealer’s, soon…
