For Sale: 1940 Chevrolet Pickup in Downers Grove, Illinois

Check out this 1940 Chevrolet pickup Rat Rod. This truck is powered by a 307ci V8 with triple Stromberg carburetors paired to a automatic transmission. The vehicle has finned valve covers, and long-tube headers that flow into a dual exhaust system with 3" pipes. An electric puller fan cools the radiator. The engine oil, air filter assemblies, and spark plugs were replaced in June 2025. Steel 15" wheels are mounted with 185/65 Landsail LS588 tires. The truck rides on an independent front assembly and a live rear axle supported by longitudinal leaf springs with lowering blocks. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The interior features bucket seats in brown vinyl, and an ammunition box is used as a center console. License plates have been added to the dashboard fascia and firewall, and the doors are secured with barrel-bolt latches. A faucet with a wood tap handle is mounted in the center of the dash, and a mini keg is located ahead of the pistol-grip shifter. A Bluetooth-capable digital media receiver is connected to an amplifier and a subwoofer behind the seats in addition to four 6�9" speakers mounted in an overhead console. The billet steering wheel sits ahead of an Equus tachometer as well as white-dial gauges mounted below the dash. Do note that the odometer does not work, and total mileage is unknown. The hinged rear cargo floor lifts to reveal a fuel cell, a wire storage crate, and the battery.
