1952 ****** Truck - It's a Sleeper
We love clapped out old beaters just as much as super-spendy high-dollar Jeeps. But the best Jeeps are the real sleepers, the kind that look like they’ve been at the bottom of a lake for the past 40 years but burn up any trail with amazing ease. Adam Woodlee’s ’52 ****** truck is just one of those Jeeps. At first sight you’d expect to find a tired factory driveline begging for mercy while trying to push 39.5-inch tires. Instead you find a rappy Tuned Port–injected and roller-cam’d Chevy 350 mated to a TH350, dual transfer cases, and 1-ton axles. The paint scheme resembles the barnacles you might find under a ship, and friends joke with Adam about clear-coating the ****** so it doesn’t lose its, uh, luster. But as with any sleeper this one sports some sweet mods that you might not catch at first glance. Check out the drool-worthy stuff Adam and his dad Dwight did to the ’52.
