The 1940 Fords were gorgeous vehiclesand#44; no two ways about it. Heckand#44; when the pickup truck looks this goodand#44; you know youve done something right in the styling department. This 100% steel pickup is a fresh professional build with all the upgradesand#44; and yesand#44; Ford fansand#44; its got Blue Oval powerand#44; too! The screaming orange paint isnt subtle but when you build something that looks like thisand#44; you really want to get noticed. This is not some fiberglass replica but an all-steel 1940 Ford pickup thats been skillfully and tastefully modified to create a show-stopping machine. The 40 Ford pickup borrowed the 39 Ford passenger car front endand#44; and there just arent many better ways to start than that. A lot of the chrome was shavedand#44; including the door handlesand#44; but things like the body moldingsand#44; awesome teardrop headlightsand#44; and that V-shaped grille all remain in place. The finish is spectacularand#44; with a deep shine that represents cubic dollars and enough man-hours that someone could have funded their retirement on it. A hard-shell tonneau cover converts the bed into the worlds biggest trunk and a custom rear roll pan incorporates the exhaust tips and recessed license plate holder. Its been driven 3337 miles since it was builtand#44; so there might be one or two tiny signs of useand#44; but if you want a vehicle that can drive cross-country and still win a big trophy at just about any showand#44; this is definitely it. The completely custom interior is tasteful and beautifully built. Bucket seats wrapped in tan leather make it as comfortable as your daily driverand#44; while a fabricated center console adds practicality with a pair of cup holders and courtesy lights. The dash is still factory stockand#44; but its been filled with Classic Instruments gauges in a woodgrained fascia that looks completely appropriate here. Colorado Customs supplied a billet wheel that matches the rolling stock and all the creature comforts are included: A/Cand#44; tilt columnand#44; power windowsand#44; and an AM/FM/CD stereo in its own overhead console. The stereos amplifier is showcased between the seats and has been painted to match the bodyworkand#44; and theres a thumping subwoofer just underneath. Seat belts are a great idea from a safety standpoint and youll find the FAST fuel injection controller neatly stashed inside the center console. If you can look past all the chrome and polished aluminum under the hoodand#44; youll find a stout 302 cubic inch V8and#44; better known as the 5.0. This one is fueled by the aforementioned FAST fuel injection systemand#44; which sits atop an Edelbrock intake manifold and lights the fires with a Mallory Unilite system. That all means that it starts instantly and idles well even when its coldand#44; and with a professional tuneand#44; it drives beautifully. A serpentine belt drive system allows the accessories to stack close to the blockand#44; and as you can seeand#44; its artfully dressed to win trophies. Its backed by an AOD 4-speed automatic overdrive transmissionand#44; which slots neatly between the original frame rails. That frame has been heavily reinforcedand#44; then fitted with a custom K-member with rack-and-pinion steering and air bagsand#44; while the 9-inch rear end hangs on a traditional 4-link setup. That air suspension allows you to fine-tune the ride heightand#44; so dont let our photos fool you: this sucker looks right from any angle. Staggered Colorado Custom billet aluminum wheels are fitted with 215/45/17 front and 255/45/18 rear performance radials that tuck under the fenders perfectly. Incredibly well builtand#44; beautiful to look atand#44; and a pleasure to driveand#44; this gorgeous Ford pickup delivers everything youve ever wanted from a street rod and then some. Call now! |
