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.

Finished in vibrant purple with striking custom flame graphics over a white interior, this professionally built street rod has also been featured in MotorTrend, further highlighting the quality and craftsmanship behind its construction. With an extensive list of performance and comfort upgrades, this Ford is equally at home on the show field or the open road.

1946 saw a world recovering from war, and automotive production began to swing back towards civilian applications. And one of the most iconic symbols of this was the 1946 Ford ½-Ton Stake Truck. Our featured truck is a faithful replica of a vehicle that played a vital role in post-war America, with assembly reportedly completed in 2016. It features a heavy-duty ladder frame, along with some mechanical and electrical upgrades to enhance reliability and deliver an extra turn of performance.

The current owner also reports recent spark plug service and a comprehensive fluid service, adding to the appeal of this thoughtfully updated F-150.
This 1991 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 has been comprehensively modified into a serious street-oriented Fox Body build.

The engine setup includes an Anderson B31 camshaft, Holley Systemax intake, 80mm mass air meter, Anderson 3-inch power pipe, Accufab 75mm throttle body, upgraded injectors and fuel system, while the drivetrain benefits from a 2,400 RPM stall converter, street/strip valve body, TransGo shift kit, and Ford Performance 3.73 gears. Bilstein shocks, Steeda lowering springs, Team Z steering hardware, Black Widow exhaust, multiple wheel sets, and a modernized audio system round out a build that goes well beyond the typical bolt-on Fox Body.
This 1971 Ford Bronco takes the early Bronco formula in a much more aggressive direction, combining classic first-generation styling with a heavily modified off-road build.

Its equipment includes 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, aftermarket alloy wheels, a custom-built roll cage, Corbeau bucket seats with racing harnesses, a twin-stick Dana 20 transfer case, and a 23-gallon fuel tank. The result is a Bronco configured with serious trail-oriented hardware and a very distinctive custom presentation.
