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.
Exterior and 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.
Engine
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.
