1940 Ford Truck Pre-War Pickup. Flathead V8, Completely Restored, Mild Custom, Desirable Updates.

Original Drivetrain, Professional Frame-Off Restoration, Custom Paint, Updated Steering, Brakes & Exhaust Systems...

75 years after its debut, the 1940 Ford Truck is still one of the best looking Ford Pickups ever built.

From day one, these Ford Trucks have been the symbol for iron-clad reliability.
Solid, Sturdy and Powerful, this Classic is a truck you can depend on.

Her Power comes from her original, updated 24 Head Stud, Ford 221-cid, 85-hp version flathead V- 8 engine with Dual 2-Barrel Holley 94 Carburetors and an Offenhauser Intake Manifold.
She shifts smoothly with her original 3-Speed Manual Toploader Transmission mated to her original 3/4 Floating Rear Axle.

She has a new Fatman Independent Front Suspension with Disc Brakes and Coilover Shocks for a smooth ride, and Red's Headers with Dual Exhaust for increased power and an excellent sound.

Prized for their rugged good looks, it's easy to see how a person could fall in love with these Sleek solid lines, bulbous front and rear fenders, pioneering one-piece front panel construction, low set grille and her famous swing down tailgate.

Her Professional Frame-Off Restoration was completed in 2011.
She received an eye-catching Custom paint scheme with Light Tan over Calypso Coral Orange separated by a sharp slash of Regency Purple.
Custom Pin Striping can be found strategically placed inside and outside this beauty.

Ford trucks were updated in 1940 and 1/2-ton trucks took on car styling for the first time in almost 10 years.
Her Vee'd grille, pointed hood, and headlights mounted into the fenders, give this hauler a modern, classy look.

Though her exterior mimicked car styling, her interior retained the "truck" style with its flat, monotone dashboard.
Comfortable and Stunning, her Custom Interior has an Ididit tilt Steering Column, Power windows, new Dolphin Instrumentation, Modern bucket seats with headrests, and Custom door panels.

This Exceptional, Pre-war 1940 Ford Pickup is a Classic with a Unique Look and Modern Upgrades.
