Beautiful 1940 Ford Pickup, Feisty Flathead V8, 3-Speed Manual, Custom Interior

Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 25th year in the classic and muscle car business. The 1940 Ford 1/2-ton pickup is regarded by many enthusiasts as one of the best-looking mass-produced trucks ever made. The combination of Eugene "Bob" Gregorie's beautiful new styling for Ford's cars and their decision to adopt this automotive styling for its trucks for the first time since 1932 resulted in an all-time classic. The pairing of this rolling sculpture with the only V8 available in a pickup was a recipe for an icon. This stunning 1940 Ford beautifully illustrates both the timeless styling and the brilliant flathead V8. Lift the deeply sculpted hood and you'll find the 221 ci flathead V8 that's been fortified with new Edelbrock aluminum heads, an Offenhauser aluminum intake manifold, twin Stromberg 97 carburetors, a 12 Volt conversion, and an electric fan. Additional features include a 3-speed manual transmission, custom interior, a beautiful wood bed, a Panasonic audio system, side mounted spare tire, and Ford steel wheels with correct beauty rings and caps wearing classic wide whitewall tires (195/65R15 F, 235/70R15 R). This jewel is absolutely loaded with charm and contains more character in a single fender than an entire new truck has! Our old school cruiser runs and drives very well and the raspy exhaust note is positively priceless, seemingly urging you to misbehave! One more cherished classic from the Texas Hill Country's premier source for classic trucks and the team that can make your dream a reality.
