Melanson Motors is proud to offer this custom built 1940 Ford Pickup Street Rod. This truck was a multi-year build with custom touches everywhere you look. This street rod was featured in Maritime Rod and Custom Magazine and is known as "Phoenix". The steel body started as a 1946 Mercury truck because the cab is the same from 1940-1946. The roof was chopped 3" and the rain gutters smoothed. A 2 piece steel 1940 hood was purchased, fabricated and fitted into a one piece hood. The running boards were shortened 4". The box sides, tailgate and roll pan were all custom fabricated. This truck is an excellent driver. It features a reliable, performance built 357ci engine mated to a 700r4 automatic transmission. The engine was recently built by Armstrong Motors and dyno'ed at 420hp. This Ford has disc brakes on the front and drums on the rear. The rear end has 3.73 gears with custom drop leaf springs. The frame has been painted black front to back. The undercarriage is tidy and detailed throughout. A fuel cell sits at the rear of the truck. This truck rides on staggered 15" and 14" Cragar Classic wheels.
The paint is R&M Acrylic Viper Red and Black and is excellent. The interior is also very nice! It features a custom stitched leather bench seat with V8 embroidered in the center. The door panels match the outside of the truck with 2 tone red and black. The truck also has power windows and an S10 tilt steering column. The dash features Autometer gauges and a Kenwood stereo deck.
A great driving street rod built with high quality components throughout!
