• Harsh Chemicals, Everyday Impacts, Weather Damage and More Are No Match For Scientifically Advanced Coatings to Prolong Work Truck Life
• Media Interviews and Vehicle Tour Available in Booth 34113

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (October 27, 2017) – LINE-X continues to break boundaries at the 2017 SEMA Show by teaming up with leading manufacturer Summit Truck Bodies to show attendees how incorporating LINE-X into work truck and fleet vehicles helps extend limits by creating a virtually unbreakable barrier against impacts, abrasions, the elements, harsh chemicals and just about every other challenge faced by service professionals in the field.

• Summit’s fully-restored 1973 International Loadstar - equipped with a premium Summit 7 Series Service Body – will be showcased in the LINE-X booth.
• Under the custom fiberglass clamshell hoods is the truck’s all new power plant: A supercharged 6.2 liter Dodge Hemi Hellcat engine with the matching Dodge Hellcat gauge cluster and infotainment system. Summit upgraded the International’s frame with a 2010 Chevy 5500 chassis to tie it all together and placed that on top of a Kelderman 4-Way Independent Air Ride suspension.
• The Summit 6422 Electric Over Hydraulic Crane will also be featured – with both machines coated in various LINE-X protective coatings to showcase versatility. LINE-X, which is available for all service bodies that Summit sells, has been applied to several exterior surfaces of the service body, both front and rear bumpers and even select interior components.
