This 1940 Ford pickup was acquired by the seller in 2019 and subsequently rebuilt and customized over the next five years. The body was removed from the frame and refinished, and the frame was modified to accept a 9″ Currie rear end, a Mustang II-style front end, and a four-link rear setup with coilovers. Power comes from a fuel-injected 383 crate V8, which is linked to a Phoenix 700R4 transmission. The truck rides on staggered Billet Specialties alloys mounted over four-wheel discs and has a birdseye maple bed, and inside has also been customized with Vintage Air climate control, Classic Instruments gauges, a Flaming River tilt column, and a Limeworks banjo wheel. Following completion of the build, it was displayed at the 2024 and 2025 National Street Rod Association Nationals and appeared in issue 76 of Rodding USA. This Ford pickup is now offered in West Virginia with a clean Montana title.

The seller tells us that the body is a mix of steel and fiberglass, and it was stripped, repaired, and finished with custom green paint. The frame was painted matte black following modifications for the suspension and rear end. Custom tailgate latch pins were made, and a Bab Drake grille, wiper motor, emblems, and moldings were used along with billet mirrors.

The rear end was mini-tubbed, and the bed is custom-stained birdseye maple separated by stainless-steel runners. The fuel filler is flush in the floor.

The suspension has been modified with a Mustang II-style front end and a triangulated four-link rear end with coilovers, and Wilwood discs were mounted all around. The Billet Specialties wheels measure 17″ up front and 19″ out back, and they are mounted with BFGoodrich rubber.

Swen Tight Custom Interiors produced the upholstery, and Vintage Air was installed as part of the build. The interior metal surfaces were color-matched to the body.

A Limeworks banjo wheel is mounted on the Flaming River tilt column, and the shifter is a Lokar unit. The 175 miles indicated on the Classic Instruments cluster represents the distance driven on the build.

The 383ci V8 is a GM crate engine that was installed as part of the build. It uses a Holley EFI system, MSD ignition, a billet serpentine kit, a Walker aluminum radiator, and a a Cooling Components two-stage electric fan.

The Phoenix 700R4 transmission has a 2,700-rpm stall converter and is linked to a Currie 9″ rear end. Hedman headers are linked to a custom stainless-steel exhaust system that was fabricated by Outlaw Headers.

Following completion of the build, the truck was featured in issue 76 of Rodding USA, with the article displayed in the gallery.
