Vehicle Description
This 1940 Ford Pickup Restomod is the awesome kind of build that
impresses others with its well-done mix of classic and custom. But
that's just for those who are snapping their necks to get a better
look as this drives by. The owner/driver gets the true full appeal,
because it also has upgraded V8 power, an upgraded suspension,
overdrive transmission, and a comfy A/C interior. It means this one
is one of those special classics that knows how to turn heads and
can comfortably do it near or far.
In 1940, Ford created one of the most stunning pickup designs for
the ages. This one celebrates that style by utilizing the full
custom build to highlight all the best features on this icon. It
starts up front where the bumper has been removed so you can get
the full view of that awesome pointed frontend that was shared with
the classic car line. The burgundy has the kind of metallic element
that loves to show off the classic cab style with plenty of flair.
The black in this two-tone is just as important. It emphasizes the
round fenders up front, where it really draws attention to the
teardrop headlights. This one loves to expertly mix the vintage and
modern elements everywhere into one cohesive package. You see it in
places like how the aged lumber in the truck bed has a purposeful
look against the updated smooth metal slats. And those polished
Ridler wheels tuck into the design like they belonged there from
day one. Plus, you know there's a ton of respect you get when you
tell people this custom creation was done with an all steel
body.
There's more of the well-done black style inside. The interior
keeps classic Ford elements, like the dual-spoke steering wheel,
two-piece windshield, and the contour of the dash. Even the bucket
seats have a vintage style (of course, it's an upgrade considering
you could never get anything this comfortable in 1940.) And the
well-fitting door panels and full headliner are other nods to an
upgrade in comfort without losing its vintage sensibilities. They
also made sure this was a comfortable place to spend some time with
additions like an AM/FM/cassette stereo and cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning. This was also built to be a driver with a tilt
steering column and a full set of AutoMeter gauges - including a
large speedo and tach.
While Ford's flathead V8 is a great motor, you really want small
block power in an upgraded machine like this. And it has a tidy
look with added polish, finned valve covers, and a matching air
topper. And this 350 cubic-inch V8 earns its racing flags with
upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock
intake, and shorty headers that feed the glasspack style dual
exhaust. There are even good supporting components, like upgraded
pulleys and an electric fan. While this one was built for added
power, it was also built for added comfort, too. The Heidts Mustang
II-style front end gives you a better and sharper ride. Plus, the
700R4 four-speed automatic transmission has highway-ready
overdrive. There's also power steering, power brakes, front discs,
and wide modern tires.
This is a full build made for those who like to show off their
classic ride. So don't let this iconic and upgraded Ford pickup
slip away. Call today!!!
