1940 FORD CUSTOM PICKUP

Details

This custom 1940 Ford pickup build started with a 100% steel clean shell that has been carefully worked on to create a glass-smooth finish. The attention to detail carried through to the orange paintwork, which is highlighted by the signature 1940 Ford chrome grille and headlight rings, gives this car tremendous visual presence. A custom hard-shell tonneau, rear roll pan with integrated exhaust pipes and shaved door handles complete the car's sleek look. The staggered set of Colorado Custom billet aluminum wheels give off a sporty feel, with a matching steering wheel on the inside. Under the hood, a Ford Racing 302ci V8 engine has replaced the original engine and kept the vehicle all-Ford. The carburetor was replaced with a FAST fuel-injection system, resting on an Edelbrock manifold that improves both drivability and reliability. These are paired with a Mallory ignition system and a full serpentine belt drive system. The engine sends its power through an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The suspension received numerous reinforcement measures to keep up with the more powerful engine, and a set of airbag suspension was installed at an adjustable ride height. The original steering box was replaced with a more precise rack & pinion setup, and the rear has a 4-link setup built around the tried-and-true Ford 9-inch rear end. Venturing inside, the vehicle features two bucket seats wrapped in tan leather with a specially built center console dividing them. The center console includes

conveniences like cup holders and storage space. An additional feature of an overhead console on the roof houses the AM/FM/CD stereo, which sends music through multiple in-cabin speakers, including two on the roof, a subwoofer beneath the seats and an amplifier color-matched to the exterior that is prominently placed on the rear bulkhead. The dashboard has a stock look but has been upgraded with a wood-grain veneer and a set of gauges from Classic Instruments. Modern amenities are accounted for in this vehicle, including a tilt steering column, power windows and air conditioning. **TITLED AS 1940 FORD RECON** **TITLE IN TRANSIT** **SOLD ON BONDED TITLE**
