The front suspension consisted of an I-beam system, and in the rear a semi-floating system using semi elliptical springs. The truck was upgraded to a 12 volt system. The freezer is a 3 plate cold plate freezer that runs off of 110 V.A.C. The truck has an inverter that converts the 12 volt system to 110 V.A.C to maintain the freezers cold if and when needed.
