For Sale: 1938 Ford Pickup in Kentwood, Michigan

Vehicle Description

• This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis facility - 2461 Reeves Rd #194, Plainfield, IN 46168 •

The best hot rods have personality, and this 1938 Ford pickup has it in spades. Finished in an incredibly cool green patina that looks like decades of honest character rather than something that was forced, this truck strikes the perfect balance between vintage style and modern drivability. The stance is spot-on thanks to its air ride suspension, while the beautifully upholstered red bench seat adds just the right amount of contrast to the weathered exterior. It's the kind of build that draws a crowd wherever it's parked and gets even more attention once it's fired up.

Power comes from a dependable Chevrolet 350 V8 equipped with a mild camshaft, delivering the unmistakable sound and feel every hot rod should have. Shifting duties are handled by a T5 five-speed manual transmission, sending power to a stout Ford 9-inch rear end for a combination that's proven, reliable, and genuinely fun to drive. Whether you're cruising back roads or heading to your local cars and coffee, this truck is built to be enjoyed behind the wheel.

Underneath, this Ford benefits from a Mustang II independent front suspension, front and rear disc brakes, and an air ride system that allows you to tailor both the stance and ride quality. The seller notes the truck rides best with approximately 90 pounds in the front air bags and 30 pounds in the rear, making it comfortable enough for long cruises while still delivering the low, aggressive look everyone loves.

The attention to detail extends throughout the build. All fuel, brake, and electrical lines have been replaced, giving the truck a solid mechanical foundation. Woodward gauges provide accurate readings across the board, including a properly functioning speedometer. A battery cut-off switch is conveniently located in the glove box area on the firewall, while the air ride compressor, tank, Bluetooth receiver, and amplifier are neatly mounted beneath the seat to keep everything clean and out of sight. The functional tilt-out windshield and working cowl vent preserve the truck's vintage charm while adding features rarely seen operating on many street rods today.

This isn't an over-restored showpiece that's afraid of the road. It's a thoughtfully built hot rod with incredible style, dependable mechanicals, and the kind of presence that only a perfectly executed patina truck can deliver. Whether you're looking for something to take to local cruise nights, long weekend drives, or simply want one of the coolest trucks at any event, this '38 Ford checks all the boxes.
