Actually moonshine running wasn't really being done much in 1940.
First of all, it wasn't needed.
But if it was done, the moonshine was transported hidden in an added second fake gasoline tank or a fake bottom to trunk of the car.... if it was done in a car.
By 1940 the moonshine whiskey could have been pretty much bottled and boxed and hauled in a regular truck with no one the wiser.

If you wish to know more about moonshiners and moonshine stills I recommend that you contact your local State Dept of Excise, they are your state's modern "revenuers" of the past.
Or even your State Police archieves.

What exactly is it that you want to do with a 1940 Ford, a box of Mason jars, a 50lb bag of corn and some sugar?
Are you asking how to build a moonshine still from parts from a 1940 Ford?
You can't.
Are you asking how to make a car from those things?
You can't.
Are you trying to build a car that runs on moonshine whiskey INSTEAD of gasoline?
I just can't figure out what it is exactly you want to do with a 1940 Ford, a bag of corn, and some sugar...?
Or is the the corn and sugar for the moonshine still?
So, where does the 1940 Ford come in?

Do you wish to build a moonshine still at home ..... make moonshine whiskey ...... then set up your 1940 Ford car, with maybe an extra gas tank ..... and then hide the moonshine in your car ..... and "run" it somewhere?

Your gonna need more than 50 lbs of corn.
 
A car for running moonshine would have moonshine in Mason jars or gallon jugs. It would not have corn, sugar, or a still because those things would be back at the place where the hooch was made. It would likely have one or more guns.

Appalachian moonshining flourished during Prohibition, from 1919 to 1933.
