Vehicle Description
PLEASE NOTE THIS TRUCK IS LOCATED AT OUR UPCOMING NEW LOCATION 1229
TEXAS AVE SHREVEPORT, LA 71101. Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we
celebrate our 25th year in the classic, classic truck, and muscle
car business. The 1940 Ford 1/2-ton pickup is regarded by many
enthusiasts as one of the best-looking mass-produced trucks ever
made. The combination of Eugene Bob Gregorie's beautiful new
styling for its automobiles and Ford's decision to adopt this
automotive styling for its trucks for the first time since 1932
resulted in an all-time classic. Our sexy silver 1940 Ford
successfully blends this iconic styling with some choice modern
amenities for increased comfort and safety. Beneath the unusual
triangular hood is a 350 V8 that's been fortified with a Holley
carburetor, an aluminum intake manifold, and an aluminum radiator
with twin electric fans. Additional features include power
steering, power front disc brakes, power leather bucket seats (from
Infiniti), Vintage Air Heat/Cool/Defrost system, 3-speed manual
transmission with Hurst shifter, custom interior with painted dash
and Dolphin gauges, sprayed-on bedliner, toolbox, and slick Riddler
alloy wheels wrapped with low-profile rubber (225/40ZR18 F,
285/35ZR22 R). This cruiser rides and drives amazingly well, thanks
in part to a GM front clip with independent suspension and
well-matched spring/shock rates. With the exception of the rear
fenders this is an all-steel classic that turns heads and generates
smiles wherever it goes. Built to drive, this gorgeous 81-year-old
does show some nicks and chips from regular use. Come see the team
that makes dreams a reality. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full
service dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery,
insurance, and financing options.
