OTC Celebrates 90 Years with Truck Restoration

Sept. 15, 2016

Sept. 15, 2016—OTC Tools announced Wednesday that it will celebrate its 90th anniversary by paying homage to one of its sales tactics in the late 1920s and early 30s—the OTC Tool Truck. 

In the early days of OTC, salesmen would travel door to door nationwide in panel trucks with the OTC name on them. The salesmen would sell tools directly to service stations and garages. 

OTC has partnered with Fuller Hot Rods to design and restore a 1934 Sedan Delivery Ford into a vintage OTC Tool Truck. The truck will be unveiled at SEMA 2016.
