Description

This 1940 Ford Pickup has been extensively transformed into a professionally built custom street rod, blending classic Ford styling with modern Chevrolet-based performance and drivability. While the iconic 1940 Ford headlights and Standard grille remain, the truck’s overall profile has been significantly lowered, smoothed, and re-imagined for a bold, contemporary street presence.

Built on a Chevrolet S-10 chassis, this pickup delivers modern ride quality, power steering, and power brakes, while retaining unmistakable pre-war Ford character.
