When it comes to practicality, it’s hard to beat the good old pickup truck. A symbol of ruggedness, utility, and preparedness, if you own anything with a cargo bed, you’ll know how many times you’re asked to help out with transportation-related errands. But while many pickups live and die as workhorses, there are few that get lovingly restored to become true works of art. “A work of art” is the best way to describe this 1940 MY Ford Pickup restoration, which has undergone extensive work to preserve this timeless slice of automotive heritage. The restoration work carried out on this pickup includes a complete respray and a newly upholstered interior.
Although built to lead a life of hard work, few trucks have been made that could challenge the 1940 Ford Pickup for design beauty. The already elegant styling has been enhanced with a new paint job, which the owner reports was carried out in 2023. The restoration efforts also included all new glass parts and new lights. The grey exterior is perfectly set off by the wheels, which feature chrome hubcaps with whitewall tires. Finally, the truck’s bed floor has been newly refitted with wood. The cabin has been refreshed with a newly upholstered light grey interior. The bench seat has been sourced new, while the headliner has also been redone. A large four-spoke steering wheel is in place, behind which sits a bank of new VDO gauges that monitor vital parameters, including road speed, water temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel levels.
Under the expansive hood is a 221ci Flathead V8 motor. The engine itself is a sight to behold, with the simple and uncomplicated bay featuring plenty of chrome ancillaries. The V8 delivers power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission that has been sourced from a 1995 Ford Mustang. The 1940 Ford Pickup features a floor-mounted shifter, while for maximum load-carry capabilities, the rear end features a solid axle with leaf springs.

The timeless all-steel body, finished in an elegant red and charcoal black two-tone, is paired with a reliable 327ci V8 that provides the punch and smoothness expected from a well-built restomod. With refined details, upgraded systems, and everyday drivability, this truck showcases the best of both vintage heritage and modern engineering.
Today, Ford is at the forefront of the pickup truck game — whether it be the newly reintroduced Maverick, the stalwart F-150, or the Superduty cabs, the Blue Oval seemingly has a solution for just about every need. This history of offering rock-solid pickup trucks started somewhere, and the lineage can be traced back many decades to trucks like our featured 1940 Ford Pickup Truck. This prime example has been customized to offer its next owner something truly unique. In addition to the custom paint job and aggressive stance, this restomod reportedly features a 383ci V8 Stroker from Blueprint and a plethora of other neat additions that are bound to enhance this ’40’s pick-up’s performance and prowess.

The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
The fourteenth generation of the Ford F-150 was introduced in 2021, and remains the current one on sale. There are several variants, including the Raptor and Lightning, but this particular truck is a little different. You see, it’s a 2021 Ford F-150 Shelby which, as the last part of its name suggests, has received tuning by Shelby American, the company founded by the legendary Carroll Shelby. Yes, Shelby didn’t only tune Mustangs; he turned his attention to other Ford models, and after his demise, the company continues that fine legacy. So, just how potent is this machine? Well, how does 950 horsepower grab you? We’d say that it grabs you very strongly indeed. If you’d like to own this fearsome beast, it’s up for sale in Torrance with a mere 47,521 miles on it so far.
This 1966 Ford F-250 Crown Crew Cab 4×4 is a rare example of a purpose-built heavy-duty truck ordered with both specialized coachwork and Ford’s upscale Custom Cab specification. Unlike the standard fleet-grade bodies typically used for Crown conversions, this truck was built on a F-250 platform and equipped from new with the 81B Custom Cab package, pairing a four-door Crown-built body with Ford’s highest interior trim of the period. A comprehensive, factory-correct restoration was carried out with the singular goal of returning the truck precisely to its original 1966 configuration rather than modernizing or reinterpreting it. The combination of Custom Cab trim, Crown coachwork, faithfully recreated upholstery materials, and original-style factory air conditioning places this truck among the most authentic Crown crew cab F-250s known, supported by Hemmings documentation and minimal mileage since completion.

The OG Hummer, the AM General Humvee is the military variant on which the entire Hummer brand was created around, at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having encountered these vehicles in movies, it’s no surprise that The Terminator fell in love with them. Of course, at that time, the only way a civilian could expose themselves to a Humvee in the capacity of driving it was to likely join the military. Now, you can find plenty of old, ex-service Humvees entering civilian life after they retire from active duty. This 1987 AM General Humvee M998 is one such candidate, and it’s got just 37,300 miles to its name. But that’s not important, what matters is how it’s been tastefully customized. You’ve got a Tropical Blue repaint, a custom navy and white Sunbrella top, a diesel V8 under the hood, and so much more to appreciate. Hard to imagine, isn’t it, that this was once a military troop transport!
