JUST GOT HER RUNNING AND SHE RUNS GREAT!1940 FORD STREET ROD PICK UPTHIS TRUCK WAS BUILT IN THE LATE 80'S. THE LAST TIME IT WAS DRIVEN BEFORE I OWNED IT WAS IN 1993. THE BUILDER'S WIDOW TOLD ME THEY HAD A SUNDAY DRIVE THROUGH THE OZARKS, CAME HOME AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE. SOMETIME AFTER THAT HE DIED AND THE TRUCK WAS NOT MOVED UNTIL I MOVED IT 22 YEARS LATER. IT WAS AT THE TIME A FRESH BUILD.THE BODY LOOKS GOOD AND SOLID AND CAN BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED AS IS, OR DO SOME EASY BODYWORK AND PAINT IT A COLOR OF YOUR CHOICE. FENDERS LOOK BLACK, BUT ARE DARK GREEN METALLIC. WHAT LOOKS LIKE WOOD ON THE BEDSIDE IS ACTUALLY PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE WOOD, BED IS ALL METAL.INTERIOR IS USABLE, BUT VERY OUT DATED (GREEN CRUSHED VELVET).FORD 351 ENGINE RUNS GREAT! I TOOK THE HEADS AND INTAKE OFF TO INSPECT ENGINE FOR WEAR OR DAMAGE. ENGINE WAS SO CLEAN IT LOOKED LIKE IT JUST CAME BACK FROM THE MACHINE SHOP. NO WEAR OR DAMAGE! I PUT ON NEW HEAD GASKETS, NEW INTAKE GASKETS, EXHAUST GASKETS, NEW EDLEBROCK CARB, COIL, SPARK PLUGS, FUEL PUMP AND FILTERS. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THE TRUCK, I DRAINED FUEL TANK, REPLACED WHAT RUBBER FUEL LINES WERE USED AND PUT IN NEW OIL WITH FILTER. SHE FIRED RIGHT UP AND RUNS SMOOOOTH!!! TRANS GOES INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE GOOD. NEEDS A RADIATOR AND A FULL BRAKE JOB TO BE ROAD WORTHY. POWER STEERING WORKS, BUT HAS A SEAL LEAKING IN THE GEAR BOX (FLUID LEAKS OUT VERY FAST). I PUT VERY NICE WHEELS AND TIRES ON IT.HAS STOCK FRONT END WITH POWER STEERING AND DUAL LEAF SPRING REAR END WITH MODERN SHOCKS ALL AROUND. HAS DUAL EXHAUST.PASSENGER DOOR GLASS IS CRACKED, THE REST IS GOOD.STILL A PROJECT, JUST DEPENDS ON HOW FAR YOU WANT TO GO WITH IT. IT HAS GOOD ENOUGH BRAKES SO THAT IT CAN BE LOADED ON A TRAILER.CALL WITH QUESTIONS. I CAN DELIVER THE TRUCK IN PERSON WITH AN ENCLOSED TRAILER FOR $1.25 A LOADED MILE IF YOU CHOOSE (IN THE U.S.).
