It's pretty stock looking, a real sleeper.
For those of you who don't habla sleeper. It is a car or truck that looks stock, but hauls ass!
This one sure does that. In fact, it's kind of scary fast. Especially with no power steering, stock suspension, and a steering wheel the size of a wading pool.

ReplyDeletePurty truck. My only requirements for a vehicle are... it runs and has AC. Purty is optional. Your truck definitely has that option covered.
ReplyDeleteReally nice, never had anything like that but I had my share of Mustangs and Camaros. Now we have two Mercedes, getting old I guess.
ReplyDeleteIt's GORGEOUS!! I love that color!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Robyn
And a tank of gas just to drive to the grocery store, right? Badass truck...looks good, man.
ReplyDeleteI don't speak auto, but that sure is pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I left out the seven miles per gallon part! And the leaking oil part! And the rattling sounds coming from everywhere part! And the no A/C Part! And the freaking out over rain, bird crap, and dust part!
Sweet looking ride.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty....
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I would love to hear that engine roar.
ReplyDeleteYou fought the law and this was your prize? Pretty sweet ride Brother Patrick.
ReplyDeletePatrick, nice truck but I'm following you for the whole blog. I just had a few minutes before going to work but the quick look through made me want to be here. The felony arrest? Vietnam? Can't wait to read more!

ReplyDeleteTo those of you who just signed on, WELCOME! I truly appreciate that you are reading and commenting. To all my older friends, thank you as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful.... Is that a four on the floor I see?
ReplyDeleteThank you sir!
ReplyDeleteThe shifter is part of the "sleeper" vibe. The trans is a beefed automatic. The shifter (made by Lokar) is meant to give the appearance of a manual floor shifter. This truck had a "three on the tree" originally.
That's your car?!? So totally AMAZING! :) I don't know much about cars, but I love the look of that one!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I love it! I have never actually heard of a sleeper!
ReplyDeleteYour truck is sooo cool.....and YOU said there was no old stuff where you live !!! I'd be shooting that baby from every angle every day !!
ReplyDeletethanks!
ReplyDeleteI have a few more (few hundred that is)
I'm hooked! Show us more!
