The 40 440
For my guys in the big block A body forum. This is the build of the 40 440. This truck showed up at our shop as a favor for a friend. He bought a new box for his truck off of craigslist, and got talked into taking this with him when left. Needless to say he needed to store it somewhere. Man I'm a nice guy. My wife told him not to leave it here to long or it would be hers. Sure enough he fell for a Mayberry police car I acquired, we did some trading,and it begins. Here she is just as it looked when she showed up
Then the tear down began!
Found few cool original parts.
She didn't fight much,and before we new it the day ended with this.
The cab,front clip,windshield frame,doors, trim,and lots of little switches knobs etc. Was all we had left that was salvageable for our build. Nature had tried her best to reclaim everything else.
