It seems like it always comes down to the final minutes in preparation for a big show. In this case, the 2011 CRAFTSMAN Ultimate Truck Buildout vehicles were being wrenched on right up to the moment they were strapped into the trailer of a Pilot Transport rig and pointed west for the haul to Las Vegas for the SEMA show. 

The thrash is on to wrap up the 2011 CRAFTSMAN Ultimate Truck Buildout - we're literally only a few days away from loading these two Chevrolet Silverado trucks onto the transporter to ship to Las Vegas for the 2011 SEMA show! The Diesel Power magazine truck is getting an even more intricate bed rack. It will incorporate two CRAFTSMAN boxes - one on each side - and a pair of LCD TVs. And the entire assembly will raise and lower with the press of a button! 

We're alternating between coffee and Mountain Dew as we enter the home stretch to get these two Chevrolet Silverado trucks finished as part of the 2011 CRAFTSMAN Ultimate Truck Buildout for SEMA. The Hot Rod magazine truck was shuffled off to Graphik Concepts to tune up its exterior, but not before the team at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering yanked the seats out to install the custom embroidered Katzkin leather covers. The Diesel Power magazine truck was also stripped of its seating arrangements for the same treatment. 

The Diesel Power truck hasn’t received as much attention yet, so it was shipped across town to have the CRAFTSMAN Ultimate Truck Buildout graphics applied. Both trucks will get similar graphic treatments, making them instantly recognizable as this year’s stars of the program. There are quite a few parts sitting in the back of UPS and FedEx trucks as we type, on their way to Lingenfelter to help us return to spinning wrenches.
