Vehicle Description
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.
