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 original Mustang Boss 302 of the late 1960’s is an iconic muscle car in every respect. So, when Ford decided to resurrect the idea in 2012, the bar was already set high. Many feared the reincarnated Boss 302 would be nothing more than a marketing exercise that evoked memories of the original through visual upgrades and nothing more. However, the fears were put to rest when the car was unveiled. While visually, the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 does differ from the GT500, there was so much more going on under the skin. The result was almost universally praised by the press, with an extra 32 horsepower from the engine, a completely revised approach to the car’s suspension, and improved brakes. If that wasn’t enough, the Boss 302 presented today has gone under some significant modifications by GALPIN Auto Sports. With a host of upgrades, and some eliminations, this Mustang is set as a proper track car with a gutted interior and a new 5.2L V8 engine that features other functional upgrades that could be the perfect track-weapon in your garage.

Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.

Nowadays, pickup trucks are recognized as go-anywhere, do-anything tools with the toys to match. In addition to offering the utility that is lent to them thanks to their versatile body style, they now support the same creature comforts as some of the most luxurious high-end cars while offering the power and style to match. But, in post-war America, the humble pickup was favored for its versatility, practicality, and reliability. However, even though style may have taken a backseat in the minds of the consumer, there’s no denying the classic charm of this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup. Our featured truck is reported to be mostly original but has been subject to routine and preventative maintenance. It also features a new 216ci inline six-cylinder engine.
