1940 Ford Pickup

Now being offered at MaxMotive is this beautiful and lovingly built 1940 Ford Pickup. This fine example has been hopped up in traditional fashion with finned Offenhauser heads and dual carbs atop the Flathead V8 engine. A three speed manual transmission sends the power to a Columbia Overdrive axle (shift mechanism not currently functioning). A thick stack of build receipts shows that details down to the horn button spring have been addressed. Restoration photos are included. The all-steel cab, fenders, and bed are coated in glossy gray paint augmented with beautiful chrome throughout. The black bench seat, steering wheel, and dash look great also. On top of the dash is an amazing and seldom seen vacuum operated fan. Under the dash are toggles including a switch for the electric fuel pump, which helps the engine start and run smoothly and reliably. The exhaust tone is outstanding through the big dual pipes. The previous owner hand built the handsome wood bed rails with stellar results. He also installed a new horn and belts. The tires are high quality wide whitewall radials that look and ride great. The chrome hubcaps and trim rings provide the crowning touch. Jewel-like chrome details and emblems adorn the entire truck for a complete, deluxe look. This 1940 Ford pickup has been lavished with attention, and its appearance and smooth-running mechanicals bear witness. Please be sure to see the detailed photos at www.maxmotive.com.
