Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present 1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pickup. This classic Ford pickup has been transformed into a restomod that blends the unmistakable character of a pre-war Ford truck with modern performance and comfort. Finished in a desert tan exterior, this truck shows really well and brings a distinctive presence to the road while retaining the classic shape and styling that made these early Ford pickups so recognizable.
Under the hood is a 350 CID V8 paired with an SBC Ramjet fuel-injected V8 setup, providing a modern approach to powering this vintage pickup. The engine is backed by an automatic transmission with overdrive, giving the truck the convenience of modern highway cruising. The chassis is equipped with power steering and power brakes, while a 9-bolt rear end completes the drivetrain. The truck also features a hydraulic brake cylinder mounted to the passenger side of the frame. According to the owner, the truck is built on a Pete and Jakes chassis, although there is no documentation available to verify this.
The all-steel body gives this Ford the authentic construction of its era, while the wooden bed adds another layer of traditional pickup character. Inside, the truck features a black TMI interior with black vinyl upholstery, along with power windows and air conditioning. These additions make the cabin considerably more accommodating for modern driving while maintaining the vintage truck atmosphere.
