1941 Ford Pickup 1940-1947

This 1941 Ford is a half-ton pickup which was acquired by the seller as a disassembled project in 2008 and refurbished as a hot rod between 2010 and 2019. Body parts were replaced, rust was removed, and the truck was refinished in red over a tan vinyl interior. Power is from a 350ci Chevrolet V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford rear end. Additional features include a boxed frame with a tubular crossmember, lowered suspension, rack and pinion steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, aftermarket audio gear, a Vintage Air heater and defroster, and AutoMeter gauges. This modified Ford pickup is offered with build records and an Oklahoma title in the seller’s name. The body is said to retain a stock cab, doors, and hood, while a steel Mack Products bed, Wescott fiberglass fenders, and Bob Drake running boards were added by the seller. Rust was removed or treated before the body was coated with an epoxy primer, red paint from Southern Polyurethanes, and a clear coat. Modifications include tucked front and rear bumpers, the addition of a steel rear roll pan, smoothed tailgate latches, a 1940 hood trim, an LED third brake light and front turn signals, and a Hagan pop-up fuel door. Chrome bumpers, light bezels, handles, and mirrors have been installed, and the stained oak bed slats and stainless divider strips are shown in the gallery below. Diamondback wide-whitewall radial tires are mounted on 15” painted steel wheels, which wear beauty rings and 1941 Ford hubcaps. The frame has been boxed and fitted with a tubular crossmember for additional strength. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums, and the master cylinder and fluid were replaced in the summer of 2019. The cab features replacement floors as well as new windows, felts, and rubber seals. The brown vinyl bench seat is paired with a matching headliner, door panels, and side trim as well as darker carpeting with contrast piping. A Ron Francis Express wiring harness has been fitted along with a Vintage Air heater/defroster and Newport Engineering windshield wipers. The leather-wrapped banjo steering wheel is mounted on a General Motors-style tilting column ahead of a steel dash painted to match the exterior. AutoMeter gauges include an electronic speedometer with a digital odometer showing approximately 800 miles since installation, with total chassis mileage unknown. A Kenwood CD player under the seat is paired with a two-channel amplifier and Rockford Fosgate speakers. A battery disconnect is located in the cab. The 350ci Chevrolet V8 features four-bolt main bearings and resides in front of a shaved and tucked firewall. Induction is from a 600-cfm carburetor mounted on an Edelbrock intake and fed by a mechanical fuel pump. A PerTronix ignition setup and coil are fitted, while cooling is provided by an aluminum radiator, a SPAL electric fan, and an external transmission cooler. An AGM battery is mounted in a drop-down box on the frame. Hood lift springs are not fitted, though a refurbished set is included in the sale. An oil change was performed earlier this year. The GM 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission is controlled by a Lokar floor shifter and routes power to a Ford 9″ rear end with 3.55:1 gears. The front suspension consists of a Heidts Superide II independent setup with adjustable coilovers as well as manual rack-and-pinion steering. TCI leaf springs have been fitted at the rear. A start-up and driving video has been provided by the seller.
