Chevrolet pickup has been respectfully upgraded mechanically while
retaining all it's original lines and classic features. Mechanical

bumpers, and trims and black finished running boards. The interior

two cup inserts. The dash displays original oval 110mph
speedometer, linear water temperature, fuel level, battery, and oil
pressure needle gauges. The aftermarket oval Airglide Tachometer is
displayed to the right of the cluster. An aftermarket era correct
Signal-Stat 800 turn signal is mounted on the steering column. The
original and functioning windshield opening crank is center dash
mounted. The manual transmission floor shift lever is easily
reachable at knee position. The original glass exhibits slight
aging but is intact with no chips, cracks, or brakeage. The roomy
bed is now lined in wood and features an easily accessible fire
extinguisher. Wide white-wall tires are mounted on steel wheels and
finished with Chevrolet logo hubcaps. The 1940 Chevrolet half-ton
pickup saw a larger nameplate, sealed beam headlights, parking
lights on front fender tops, a windshield that could be opened
slightly for cab ventilation, decorative metal strips on the dash
and a slightly larger pick up bed. In 1940, 194,038 pickups were
produced. The 1940 Chevrolet pickups were powered by a cast-iron,
six cylinder, inline, normally aspirated, liquid-cooled engine
developing 78hp from it's 215ci displacement and a single barrel
carburetor. The front mounted engine drove the rear wheels through
a three-speed manual transmission with a single-dry-plate clutch.
The front axle and the live rear drive axle hung from longitudinal
semi-elliptic steel leaf-springs attached to a steel ladder frame.
Single-acting hydraulic shock absorbers were installed at each
wheel. The trucks had a torsion-bar front stabilizer that bolted to
the front springs. The pickups used semi-floating spiral hypoid
rear axle. The 1940 Chevrolet trucks had four-wheel manual
hydraulic 11-inch drum brakes and worm-and-sector manual steering.
