SEMA Preview Day #6 of 7

Truck Yeah! Five Fast Factory Five Trucks

Last year at SEMA, we pulled the wraps off of our all-new ’35 Hot Rod Truck that we had built on PowerNation’s show “Engine Power.” In only a year, we’ve shipped over 50 trucks, and are bringing four really fast builds to the show. Also, Hot Rod Magazine is building a pro-street truck over six issues of the storied publication, and we are working with Barrett-Jackson on a top secret special edition truck. Check out the trucks heading to SEMA 2018.

Hot Rod Magazine Builds ’35 Hot Rod Truck!

Mark Gearhart has built some award-winning customs, and set his sights on our new pick-up truck before it was even done. He accepted delivery of the very first production truck, and is writing a 6-part build series in Hot Rod Magazine. His truck is over-the-top in every measurable way. The truck will not be at SEMA, but is currently featured in the SEMA issue of Hot Rod Magazine.
