1940 Ford Pick up with New 350cc V8 Engine.
This vehicle combines, original lines, with modern equipment and a lifetime love affair with this family truck.
So here is what was done. First was decided to paint it Porsche Red, that was later, but decided on first. It has a Chevy Column tilt steering. A 505 steering box. It has a 4 inch dropped front axle. Front disc brakes conversion with Volare Rotors. Special engineered mounts for engine and transmission on chassis. A 350cc V8 engine which we got out of a 1994 GM station wagon and had it rebuilt before installing. Used a matching 350 Transmission. Front disc brakes were installed to make it more up to date. It has an 8 inch Ford Rear end with rear drum brakes. Single stage Centari Acrylic enamel paint in the 1996 Porsche Red. The entire truck body and chassis is all steel, the left rear fender is fiberglass, the original could not be brought back. The dashboard is original, has one wiper blade for the windshield. Complete 12 volt system and starts right up every time with out a single hiccup. The truck bed is removable is needed. The truck bed is made of 3 and 5/8 thick mahogany flooring and looks stunning and makes it practical for hauling if needed with scratching the truck bed itself. It has the original tail gate. We did note a small paint stretch mark up on the top of the cab corner. There is a lot of information here and what a transformation. If youre thinking about this custom truck, dont hesitate to ask any questions, thank you for your time.
