Vehicle Description
1940 Ford street rod pick up. DGT2285 VIN B18572285 This 1940 Ford
pickup was the subject of a custom build under previous ownership
using a modified chassis with a Mustang II-style front suspension
crossmember, tubular front control arms, and dual rear leaf
springs. Power was provided by a 350ci Chevrolet V8. While we were
doing the service work on it, the engine acted up like maybe the
oil pump quit working. We had a 327 engine for a number of years
and we got it running. It ran well so we installed it into the 40
Ford PU. It runs and drives great. TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission. The truck is finished in red with a red and tan
upholstery. Additional equipment includes power front disc brakes
and rear drums. Power rack-and-pinion steering, The interior is
equipped with later-model bucket seats trimmed in tan vinyl
upholstery with red cloth inserts joined by color-coordinated door
panels. A custom center stack is installed, and features include
air conditioning, power windows, aftermarket speakers, and a
Pioneer CD stereo. Chrome 15? smoothie-style wheels are mounted
with Grand Prix Performance GT tires measuring 215/70 up front and
275/60 out back. Electronic ignition, a four-barrel carburetor, and
Flowmaster mufflers. The last owner owned it for about nine years.
The drop-down tailgate opens to reveal a polished diamond-plate bed
floor.
The information below is for the new engine we just installed.
