Hi all,

I am doing research for a computer game we are making here in the UK and wanted to know if any of you had the specification for a 1940 Ford Pickup 1/2 Ton? I am especially interested in anything that is not on the Ford website brake size, tyre size, 0-60, top speed, redline, gear ratios etc.

Whilst I am here I am also looking for the above info on the following cars:

1940 Ford Pickup 1/2 Ton

1971 Bronco 302 V8
2004 Ford SVT Lightning Concept Truck
2004 Ford F-150 Lightning
2005 Ford F-150 FX4

If you don't know what might be helpful is directions to a website that might.

Many thanks for your time and I llok forward to your replies (if I get any).

Best regards
Alan

Many, many thanks for the reply. The info you have provided is a great help. One final question I have is are the dimensions of the Lightning Bolt the same as a standard 2002 Ranger?

 

I'm not sure if it's long or short bed but it was NOT an extended cab.

 

From what I can find the base truck was a black regular cab, style side 2.5-liter I4 automatic.

 

I think the pics I saw it was purple or blue.

 

Yes it was sprayed Sonic Blue as part of its makeover. It was black when it came off the production line.

I make the regular 2002 Ranger Regular Cab, Style Side as 187.5" (length), 69.4" (width), 62.9" (height) and 112" (wheelbase). Are these dimensions right? I think the height would have changed due to the lowered suspension and the lower profile tyres.

 

Anybody else?
