Re: Lets see those stock trucks and sleepers
My 79 appears completely stock, with a GM 502 under hood. Guess you could say it's a sleeper but I never really think of it as something I care to go fast in. It has raised some eyebrows though.

Re: Lets see those stock trucks and sleepers
There's a 383 under the hood the exhaust hides the true sound of the motor, but it should be capable of at least high 12's (if I ever get it to the track). You just have to imagine it without the drag radials out back. In daily trim I run the same wheels and tires you see up front in the back as well.

Re: Lets see those stock trucks and sleepers
Not a square, but here's a sleeper. One of my favorites of all time.
http://youtu.be/zcPHHEea3lE The 50's style truck in this one is great too, but not nearly as fast as the '69. http://youtu.be/HFtEw7G40nw I thought LSx trucks were supposed to be the hottest things going right now! http://youtu.be/NbxG3_qBXQk

And to be fare to squares, here's a shot of the original 454 I pulled from my 79 1 ton pickup vs the new 502 GM crate going in Here it is nestled down into the truck ready to go. The old 454 with a performer cam and intake, headers, ran 14.70 so it was decent for an old 5500 lbs. pickup truck. No track times on the 502 yet but I suspect a bit quicker. Sleepers?? I don't know, they are just trucks to me. Difficult (and expensive) to make a heavy brick go fast. Impressive when they do though.... |

Re: Lets see those stock trucks and sleepers
I think the majority missed the title to this thread or maybe I did. Are you looking for stock looking trucks that are sleepers? IE fast but dont look it?

It would have to be a truck that at least dips into the 11's to get my attention. |
