Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Let's see some creep ass rides....innocent on the outside and evil under the hood. Here's mine.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Started as a munched 69 short step

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

250 for a 400 just recently

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

So far ran 11.48@116 in the 1/4, 7.28@94 in the 1/8th, on only 10lbs of boost.

Drives like a stock truck, the turbo does all the work. Probably the most fun vehicle I've built or owned!

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

It just looks evil under the hood, but its not fast, and its not slow, its just half fast... I take it to cruise-ins and alot of people basically don't show much interest with all the fine street rods and such, but when they look under the hood they are shocked saying what a sleeper, that it must be fast, but when I tell them its a mild 300 HP daily driver they think I'm BSing them..

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

That's what screaming! Super *****in truck....great job. Turbo is a total creep move.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Excellent...thanks for contributing....mines no scorcher either but it gets the job done I think...just put in the 400. I love those deuces.

350 bored .040 over with pro comp aluminum heads and a decent cam backed by a built th400.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Mine doesn't have patina or anything but it does have a 555 hp big block;)

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Awesome thread!

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Didn't intend to build a sleeper, but it sort of happened when I had a cracked block. The result isn't spectacular, but it puts 240 hp to the wheels, loves to rev to 6,000 RPM, and isn't exactly what you were expecting under the hood.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Excellent submissions gentlemen. My hats off. I love to see guys fired up about trucks that lack more conventional "billet hot rod" stuff.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

I want one!:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Skirts and twin 4 barrels. Righteous.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Mines kind of a sleeper. 350 crate, engine dyno'd 382 hp/402 tq. Tremec 5 speed, and a few suspension mods to make it handle decent. Doesn't look like much with the crappy paint, repaired areas, dents, etc. Not the fastest, but its quick and fun to drive.

I believe those boxes were made in mexico...

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

The way I look at it this is what old trucks are all about.Good old SBC tuned up.No vortecs or LS7 or 17 inch disco rims .Just good runners with detail and pride. CREPPING DEATH prime example

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Well put. Working man death machine. I'm glad I started this madness.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Tickled to death to see it take off.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Here is my 69 shortbox. Has a mildly built 454 with a muncie m20 and 4:11 posi. I like when people ask me if it runs. It not only runs but it tears up the neighborhood pretty well too. Alot of fun to drive and i dont have to worry about door dings.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Love this truck!!!!

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

I've spent many a times just wondering about my 67 short step. How hard would it be to put a newer 6 speed auto behing my 472 caddy. just think, 6 areas of double rubber on the road.

I have only had one sleeper in my life. I took the 475hp SBC from my 80K20 and put it into an 84 Cutlass 4 door with trailer hitch, rusty doors and all. The 2800 stall convertor and 2.14 gears made it a real freeway burner. It would pass everything except Illinois emissions test.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

these were a few farmtruck type sleepers when I was younger, but they were only sleepers if you didn't hear them running. the best two was a white mid 80's ford extended cab with a 351, very big solid lifter cam and a 250 shot of nitrous. I seen it run high 11's with 31" mud tires on the back. the other was a mid 80's blue chevy c10 with a nitroused 454, the main difference between it and the ford was that it was quiet and the ac still worked. the guy used to run it down the street with slicks on the back and since they were on rally rims with caps and rings that matched the front most people didn't even notice. he also towed his chevelle race car with it, chevelle ran low 9's truck on spray ran mid 10's

I think I've got ya'll beat in the farm truck category.

But, it has a stock 350 out of a 1976 pickup (which was one of the lowest performance 350's ever produced) so it's anything but fast.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

This is Ol' Blue. I just set the removable welding skid on to go weld a broke hay mower. The welder is a 1954 lincoln shorthood. The specs are 350, bored .40 over, double hump heads and a granny 4 speed.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Nice lookin' bunch of hot rods!

Mine's not exactly a sleeper; it says "400" right on the fender, and it surprises some people both in town and on the freeway, since it isn't quite stock. I'm thinking of starting up a woodworking shop now that I have retired. I'll need a truck (and it won't be a "newish" truck; I'm thinking early '60s step side). Of course, it will be all "faded" paint and such. It just depends on how much time I have. I also have a couple of hot rod Buicks to sell off before I get there. That ought to help the financing. We will see where that pipe dream leads.

Re: Hot Rod farm trucks and similar sleepers
 

Steevee- tell me about your 400...aside from an oil leak from hell (which I spend most of my time trying to locate- not a pleasant thread but there is one on it) I'm tickled to death with mine. Runs cool, starts easy....more torque than I need...stock displacement 2 bolt splayed mains hv oil pump 750 edelbrock/rpm airgap rv cam....a lot of ass for not much hardware. Cams small enough to not dick with my vacuum but still sounds insane. It's not running 10s on bias plys and a sm 465 but It runs on children's tears....and that's all that matters.

LM- it's heartwarming to see I'm not the only short half ton flatbed running about. Nice job.
