Provenance:
This 1940 Ford Pickup is an exceptional blend of timeless Ford styling and thoughtfully executed modern performance upgrades — delivering the perfect balance between classic charm and contemporary drivability. Originally restored as a beautifully stock, period-correct example, the truck later underwent a comprehensive transformation to create a refined, reliable, and impressively capable hot rod while preserving the unmistakable lines and character of the 1940 Ford design.
Beneath the original all-steel body sits a brand-new Roadster Shop chassis — widely regarded as the gold standard for custom builds. This upgraded foundation features rack-and-pinion power steering for precise control and Fox/Ridetech coilover shocks that dramatically improve ride quality, stability, and responsiveness. The result is a truck that drives with the confidence and refinement of a modern vehicle while retaining its vintage soul. In true hot-rod fashion, power comes from a 350ci aluminum Chevrolet small-block V8, offering a reliable, lightweight, and punchy powerplant perfectly suited for the build. The engine is paired with a GForce 5-speed manual transmission, giving the driver a more engaging experience and making highway cruising effortless compared to its original 3-speed manual gearbox. Supporting components, including updated cooling and fuel systems, further enhance drivability and dependability.
Despite the extensive mechanical upgrades, the visual identity of the truck remains virtually untouched. The iconic waterfall grille, flowing fenders, and hallmark proportions of the 1940 Ford Pickup have been carefully preserved — resulting in a vehicle that maintains its vintage elegance while surprising drivers with its modern capabilities. Chrome details, classic brightwork, and traditional proportions honor the truck’s heritage while the performance beneath the surface elevates the experience far beyond its factory origins. This ’40 Ford is the ideal pick for enthusiasts who appreciate classic prewar design but want the comfort, reliability, and performance of a contemporary custom build. With its high-quality chassis, well-chosen powertrain, and beautifully preserved exterior character, it stands as a thoughtfully executed and highly enjoyable hot-rod pickup ready to be driven and admired.
