Storm Truck Project “Anything is possible,” is what RealTruck.com CEO Scott Bintz assured the Storm Truck team as they worked tirelessly to finish the company’s completely customized truck in less than six months. Turns out, he was right! In October, RealTruck unveiled the pickup nationally at SEMA 2012, the largest automotive show in the world. Hundreds of people stopped to look at the truck’s many custom details throughout the week. The custom bodywork, audio/visual customization and accessories were a big hit and the SEMA crowd wanted to know how our team did it. Well, the answers are all here! By reading the blog, viewing the photos and watching the videos we’re linking you to below, you will learn how our 2012 custom SEMA show truck came together.
Keep an eye on the Storm Truck Project in 2013. We are working on some fun plans for the truck in our community and beyond. We want to continue following our Guiding Principles with this project, including Deliver More and Include Fun!
