1940 Ford Pickup This clean, well equipped, Ford half ton hauler combines utility and classic style in a hotrod that has timeless appeal. Go for a cruise and throw all your stuff in the back for a day at the beach or a barbeque � or use it as a shop truck to go get some parts for that other rod you are building. It not only looks sweet in that shiny metallic red coat, but there are a ton of nice surprises inside the outer wrapper. This is definitely a West Coast truck, with just enough stance to look just right, and the polished alloy rims with faux knockoff hubs contrast the flawless finish nicely. It has everything any retro rodder would want. Discerning buyers will notice the spectacular body work, great chrome trim, and custom rear roll pan . This Blue Oval drives like a new truck, has plenty of power, rides smoothly and stops easily without pulling left or right. Built in the 1990s, this all steel Henry Ford built truck has no rust, no crappy work, no cheap shortcuts. It is a fine hot rod, built in the old style, and ready to drive anywhere. You can get in, turn the key, and take a road trip anywhere without any concerns that you won�t get there. The original drive train is long gone - replaced with a reliable small block Chevy V8, TH350 automatic transmission, and 10 bolt GM rearend with 3.08:1 gears. A Camaro donated the front clip which provides independent front coil suspension, power steering and disk brakes. This tried-and-true combination gives this little Ford pickup reliable power, and highway gears give it plenty of economical range. It is a dream to drive, capable of sustained freeway speeds and hours of driving around town without the notorious overheating tendencies that the flat motors are known to have. Who can argue? A cool running engine is way cool. You can drive this truck every day as carefree as if it were a new Ford. Inside, the truck is upholstered in two tone cloth, in good condition, and very comfortable, if a little dated. It is fully equipped with a GM tilt column, custom hardwood steering wheel, a full complement of VDO instruments, power windows, ice cold Vintage air conditioning, Optimus sound system, electric fuel pump, oak plank bed, and a removable, lockable cargo box. The radial tires are like new with less than 5% wear. The odometer shows 29K miles since this ride was born again as a restomod. You will get no nasty surprises with this ride. It is solid, solid, solid. After owning this truck for a quarter of a century, the seller faces some health issues that force the sale of this handy half ton. This pickup is affordable, reliable, and it has the timeless appeal that only a 40 Ford can deliver. Check it out. If you have any questions, just ask. We�ll be happy to fill you in. Thanks for looking!
