• TRUCKIN.COM [3 8 ] OCTOBER 2019 -

Bloodline was initially going to be used as a tow pig, and it turned

out to be a tow queen. The Sierra is often brought to truck shows in

the state of Texas not only to gather trophies but also to help in case

any of his Committed family has issues and needs a tow home. Patrick

wishes to thank his mom, Donna, and his late father, Allen, for the gift

of this beautiful machine and the love and passion they instilled in him

to reach for every goal and dream he has. A special thanks goes to his

wife, Samantha Reid, for her understanding and support through every

bit of adversity. As a custom painter in Texas, Patrick has a reputation to

uphold and Bloodline is perfect for that.
