New 1940 Chevrolet Hot Rat Street Rod Pickup Truck Big Block Chevy Bbc Chopped on 2040-cars
Louisville, Kentucky, United States
|
One-of-a-kind, custom, hand-built parts - an aggressive stance and a hard chop set this 1940 Chevy apart from your ordinary hot rod. This truck has only been shown two times and has been very well received. The truck won the Don Baker Memorial Award the first time it was shown and will be featured in an upcoming issue of ‘Ol Skool Rodz magazine.
Ridge Park Speed hot rods are unique because nearly all of the components are fabricated in house. We take pride in the personal attention and detail that we put into every project.
Hand-built parts on this truck include:
•20”
diameter rear wheels – the only set like them in the world
- not sold to the public.
•Rectangular
tube chassis with sculpted front frame horns, engine mounts, and headlight
mounts •Hand-formed
bed with
factory style body bead and bed stakes •Louvered
aluminum accent panels and bed floor – nearly 900 louvers in this truck ($2,700
worth of louvers) •Aluminum
firewall accent panel •In-dash
shifter •Custom
air-cleaner
Fabrication: This build started off with a solid, original Chevrolet steel cab. The bed was hand fabricated from 16 gauge steel and features a bead rolled accent, original styled bed stakes, louvered aluminum accent panels, and louvered aluminum bed floor. The floor of the cab was built from scratch. The beads rolled in the floor match the factory bead rolling in the dash board, creating continuity in the design.
Chassis and Drivetrain: The 40 is running a custom fabricated rectangular tube chassis. The tapered front rails with lightning holes provides an aggressive look. The front axle is a hard to find Plymouth tube axle with hydraulic drum brakes. The differential is a Ford 8.8 with Track Loc and disc brakes. Front suspension is provided by a unique parallel leaf setup while the rear suspension is a more traditional leaf spring design.
Drivetrain: Power is provided from a Chevrolet Big Block (454 cubic inches) and transferred through a GM Powerglide automatic transmission. The engine runs very well and starts easily. The transmission is a fresh build by Jim Decker Racing Transmissions. No leaks, no smoke, just fun.
Our proprietary in-dash shifter set-up keeps the floor clean and simple.
Louvered door panels and kick panels pull the design elements from the outside of the truck inside. The aluminum accent panel on the transmission tunnel continue the bead rolling found in the dash and in the floor panels. The rear wheels are one of a kind 20" diameter. These were built in house and are not sold to the public.

Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?
Sat, Mar 7 2015General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.
