Vehicle Description
1940 Ford pickup is as nice as they come - a flawless hauler that
has been meticulously crafted for the long haul. It has been built
to drive, and it drives like a dream. And it looks great, too. From
workhorse to racehorse, this little pickup has been built for fun,
and driving it is as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.
A visionary rod builder media blasted the body and frame of this
pickup and started a restoration that would not only bring this old
hauler back to life, but transform it into a show winning, but
practical machine that would couple traditional styling and great,
smooth looks with more horsepower and modern safety and roadability
features. The body and paint are exquisite. Visually flawless sheet
metal is deeply coated with brilliant platinum basecoat - clearcoat
paint, color sanded to perfection. The frame is clean and painted
flat black, carefully buttressed and boxed to handle the strong
Chevy small block crate motor, and fitted with a Heidt's
independent front suspension, power rack & pinion steering, and
power disk brakes. The automatic transmission is a TH350 and the
rear gears are freeway friendly for easy cruisin'. This pickup has
suicide doors, power door locks, power windows and a first rate
AM/FM/CD system with remote control for cruising enjoyment. Inside
the cabin, plush, comfortable bucket seats are upholstered in soft,
iris ultraleather with matching door panels and headliner, plush
carpeting, a polished aluminum tilt steering column with a leather
wrapped LeCarra steering wheel, air conditioning, and new
instruments in a custom polished billet bezel. The cargo box has
polished oak planks. P275 radials aft and P195 front tires are
wrapped around chrome reversed rims to produce a rubber rake for
just the right stance. Not only does this Ford pickup get the
attention of all who see it, it is a genuine pleasure to drive.
Fingertip power steering, sure power transfer, and instant stops
ensure you will smile every mile.
