Vehicle Description
1940 Ford Pickup
With their pointed nose and rounded fenders 40 Fords are perfect
bases for Street Rods and are a personal favorite of ours. They
have always had such a cool unique look and with some subtle
customizations this Pickup was really taken to the next level.
There is just something indescribable about the truck that just
makes it look extremely tough. We aren't sure if its the stance or
the Black paint but something about it really stands out. The truck
has been completely frame up restored and was all professionally
built. The body is all original steel and the gloss Black has a
beautiful shine. It has been modified with suicide doors with
hidden hinges, a 2 inch chop and custom rolled rear pan which give
it a really sleek exterior. Park it next to a stock one and people
are gravitated towards it. The rear bed has hand made stake pockets
and is topped with a custom lockable tonneau cover that was painted
Black making it blend in with the body. All of the chrome work on
it is gorgeous and the rear bumper was removed to make room for a
slick roll pan instead. All of the tinted glass is in great
condition including the 2 piece front windshield. It rolls around
on American Racing wheels surrounded by Kenetica Kenda Radial
tires.
Everyone has their personal opinion about whether or not to keep
the drivetrain on these street rods true to the make of the body
and a majority of builders out there opt for the easy route of
dropping a 350 under the hood. This works great for some classics
but in this case it is very cool to see a fully rebuilt HiPo 289
motor powering this pickup down the road. In the world of street
rodding this actually makes this truck even more unique. The motor
runs extremely well and features port matched polished heads and
intake, a mild RV cam, electronic ignition, Taylor wires, and
hardened valve seats. It is pared with a C4 automatic transmission
with shift kit and a rebuilt 8 inch rear end with 3:71 gears.
Mustang fans see something familiar? This is a set up you see in a
lot of mid 60's Mustangs out there and is very cool to see in a 40s
pickup. It has a fully custom exhaust system which looks really
cool exiting through a frenched cutout in the roll pan. You can bet
it sounds great too. Heating is no problem with the aftermarket
Walker radiator with custom shrouded fan. The fun doesn't stop
there though because the suspension was totally redone with a
Fatman parallel rear leaf kit and Mustang II tubular front end. It
also features rack and pinion steering as well as disc brakes so it
drives down the road extremely well. There is a special place in
our heart for stock 40 Fords but lets face it, this one without a
doubt runs around town and down the highway so much better. Whether
you are a new hotrodder or a lifetime fan everyone can appreciate
the modern comforts surrounded in a vintage package.
The interior is done in all Black to match the exterior and keeps
with a very clean minimalistic look. The bench seat with foldable
armrest, lap belts and headrests work perfectly in the truck and
the ultra leather upholstery looks great. The tilt column has been
painted black and is topped off with a Banjo steering wheel. The
dash is very cleanly painted Black as well and has Haneline gauges
mounted in a engine turned bezel. The Vintage Air AC unit blows
cold and cools the interior cabin well. One very cool interior
feature is it has window cranks that look manual but when you push
them they actually activate power windows.
This pickup has a lot of style and is very well built. Not only
does it look slick rolling down the road but it does it very well.
If you are in the market for this type of pickup then this is
definitely one you need to check out.
