One-of-a-kind, custom, hand-built parts - an aggressive stance and a hard chop set this 1940 Chevy apart from your ordinary hot rod. This truck has only been shown two times and has been very well received. The truck won the Don Baker Memorial Award the first time it was shown and will be featured in an upcoming issue of ‘Ol Skool Rodz magazine. Ridge Park Speed hot rods are unique because nearly all of the components are fabricated in house. We take pride in the personal attention and detail that we put into every project. Please take a moment to read through the descriptions of the build that appear below the pictures throughout this listing. If you have any other questions please contact Shaun by text at 502-794-8659. You can also contact us through Facebook or Instagram by searching Ridge Park Speed. There is a YouTube video at the bottom of this page that contains many additional pictures of the truck. Hand-built parts on this truck include: •20” diameter rear wheels – the only set like them in the world - not sold to the public. •Rectangular tube chassis with sculpted front frame horns, engine mounts, and headlight mounts •Hand-formed bed with factory style body bead and bed stakes •Louvered aluminum accent panels and bed floor – nearly 900 louvers in this truck ($2,700 worth of louvers) •Aluminum firewall accent panel •In-dash shifter •Custom air-cleaner Fabrication:This build started off with a solid, original Chevrolet steel cab. The bed was hand fabricated from 16 gauge steel and features a bead rolled accent, original styled bed stakes, louvered aluminum accent panels, and louvered aluminum bed floor. The floor of the cab was built from scratch. The beads rolled in the floor match the factory bead rolling in the dash board, creating continuity in the design. Chassis and Drivetrain: The 40 is running a custom fabricated rectangular tube chassis. The tapered front rails with lightning holes provides an aggressive look. The front axle is a hard to find Plymouth tube axle with hydraulic drum brakes. The differential is a Ford 8.8 with Track Loc and disc brakes. Front suspension is provided by a unique parallel leaf setup while the rear suspension is a more traditional leaf spring design. Drivetrain: Power is provided from a Chevrolet Big Block (454 cubic inches) and transferred through a GM Powerglide automatic transmission. The engine runs very well and starts easily. The transmission is a fresh build by Jim Decker Racing Transmissions. No leaks, no smoke, just fun. Our proprietary in-dash shifter set-up keeps the floor clean and simple. Louvered door panels and kick panels pull the design elements from the outside of the truck inside. The aluminum accent panel on the transmission tunnel continue the bead rolling found in the dash and in the floor panels. The rear wheels are one of a kind 20" diameter. These were built in house and are not sold to the public. If you have zero feedback please contact us before bidding. We reserve the right to cancel any bid placed by a user with zero feedback.
