1940 Chevy 1/2-ton"Upgrades and Riding!"
Hi Again: I have been a member for several years but have just recently gotten my 1940 truck on the road. I posted in the Forum's but might have done it wrong or...so one more time.
I started with 2 truck almost 15 years ago that both came out of Saskatchewan, and bought and sold 2 more 1940's since then, one of those trucks going to Port Alberni, BC, where it should be on the road this year too. I still have most of a stock one left, but not sure what I am up to with that one. My idea was to get it on the road for my boys to drive when they Graduate from school, and then drive the wheels off of it. My Wife and I are really enjoying the time (only 5 weeks) and travels we have had so far. One of our boys says that all has changed since the truck got on the road, WE ARE NEVER HOME!!
This truck has a 383 ci Chevy small block, running on dual 425 Impco LPG mixers for an est. 425 hp. 700r4 auto trans, and NP207 chain drive transfer case. Front clip from a 1986 S-10 Blazer and rear diff from a 1998 S-10 Blazer, disc brakes on all 4 corners. (Torsion bar suspension ( and am looking for S-10 ZR2 torsion bars as the engine is a lil big for that stock S-10 suspension.) Shortened S-10 Blazer column.
I hope this is the right path to get my truck in the Gallery. It has been a long road and I still have some little details (trim and a hood n sides) but it sure is fun to get peoples comments and Ooohs and Aaaahs and way fun to drive it. My wife says it is kind of loud when we're cruisin' the highway, but I hollered back that it was never meant to go 110 kph + . Enjoy the link
Edit September 2023 by Peggy M :: The '40 DID make it to the Gallery. (See the link in Bill's signature line.) That a beautiful truck! Thanks for sending it to us to enjoy.
