DETROIT - The winner of the 2011 Ford Tough Truck Sweepstakes is Barry Nanz, president of Trade & Industrial Supply, Inc. Ford Commercial Trucks provided Nanz with a 2012 Ford F-150 XLT to add to his all-Ford fleet of approximately 20 tractors and trailers. Nanz's Lawrenceberg, Ind.-based company specializes in welding, medical, beverage, and bulk gases; welding supplies; equipment; abrasives; tools; and cutting tools.
"I was online looking for the differences between the Ford F-250 and F-350 and saw the sweepstakes, Nanz said. He located the sweepstakes form at www.fordtoughtruck.com and entered. In business for more than 40 years, Nanz originally didn't believe he had won.
Nanz and his wife of 39 years, Fayla, attended the 2012 Work Truck Show in Indianapolis to accept the keys to their brand-new truck.
