1940 Ford body style history ?

[Jon Haigwood]

I am kind into doing some 39/40 Fords and I am interested in the different 1:1 body and trim styles. Tring to find a page online that will give me a lineup of cars and trucks.

My first question is was there a 4o Ford Truck in the Deluxe trim or was it only in Standard trim ?

Thanks

Nothing says you can't do a "Custom Deluxe" pickup.

Might look really classy with all the chrome bling added to it.

Currently doing a resto mod 40 Convert, turning it into a roadster with a standard grill

In addition to the excellent information provided by carsntruck4you consider the Revell '40 Ford coupe model. This kit has the standard hood and grill along with a lot of other great detail chassis and interior parts. The kit was also offered at one time as a Hot Rod issue with a dropped front axle along with some speed parts for the Flathead engine.
