The Sleeping Anomaly
Usually in automotive terms, a “sleeper” is defined by a vehicle with extensive modifications to performance and handling to significantly increase the performance. This all while the exterior of the vehicle remains looking OEM.
Our sleeping anomaly project has similar meaning, but with a different end result in mind. The truck will have the exterior (and interior) look of an OEM 2006 GMC Canyon, but under the body is a whole different story. This 355 won’t be racing for slips at midnight, instead it will be on full custom air suspension, laying frame on 29” OD all season tires with factory 15’s. No shaved handles and bumpers here.
