1940 FORD PICKUP

For the first time since 1932, Ford trucks shared their styling with Ford's car line. The V shape grille and fender mounted headlights were elements that reflected the classic Lincoln Zephyr. Flathead V-8 engines of either 136 cu. in. at 60 hp and 221 cu. in. at 85 hp provided the power.  

1939 FORD PICKUP

 1939 was the first year Ford trucks were equipped with hydraulic brakes and the last to feature a place for a hand crank. The 1939 model is often referred to as a barrel nose because of the shape of the grill.
