Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present
this 1940 Ford Pickup. Finished in a striking orange exterior with
a tan leather interior, this truck combines classic styling with
extensive custom work. Power comes from a tuned port injection 350
cubic inch small block V8 engine paired with a 700R4 4-speed
automatic transmission. The engine features headers, a smoothed
block, and a smoothed transmission case. It is said to have been
built from an original 1940 Ford truck cab, reflecting detailed
craftsmanship throughout. The top is said to have been chopped 3.5
inches and includes a one-piece windshield and frenched headlights
for a sleek, streamlined appearance. The truck is equipped with an
independent front suspension, Corvette rear end, and disc brakes,
providing modern drivability and precise control. It rides on
Lazear billet wheels with the fluting removed, paired with
performance tires that enhance both its stance and handling.
Inside, the tan leather interior is complemented by a custom
console with wood inlay, a custom dash, and a custom wood steering
wheel, creating a cohesive and polished cabin. The bed is
hand-formed from 20-gauge steel and is said to feature an African
Satin wood floor with walnut inlay, adding a touch of elegance to
the truck's functional design. Additional features include air
conditioning, power steering, power locks, power windows,
seatbelts, and a tilt steering wheel, combining modern convenience
with classic appeal. This 1940 Ford Pickup represents a distinctive
blend of vintage Ford style, thoughtful customization, and skilled
craftsmanship. With its eye-catching exterior, refined interior,
and carefully executed modifications, it stands as a striking
example of classic American pickup design that is ready to be
enjoyed both on display and on the road.
