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.

Black Label Speed Shop’s FFR ’35 Truck

In the Factory Five outdoor booth (#61013), we will be featuring Jeff Moore’s unbelievable Black Label Speed Shop twin-turbo ’35 Hot Rod Truck. The finished truck looks better than the amazing rendering, and features the new optional ’34 vertical grill and surround. You may know Black Label as they brought a SICK ’33 Hot Rod to the SEMA party last year. We’ll have video and photos from the show.

SMG Motoring’s LS-Powered Hot Rod Truck

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.
