I haven't reached out to the Harre family, but did send some pics to the gentleman I got it from after it was back on the road. I think he regrets letting it go.

That's interesting. I would try to contact the Harre family just for kicks. If you do, please post back on the outcome.

It's had a couple of re-paints and two engines during it's life. Runs perfect! In his honor, I'm leaving it just the way it is. I did have his obituary laminated and put it in place of the build sheet behind the seat springs".
We still swing by his sisters a couple of times a month to visit. She loves seeing the truck. She gets teary eyed when she hears it coming up the hill, as it reminds her of her brother. I was showing off the new seat one day, when she ran into the house and came out with a picture of his pet goat Daisy and his dog riding shotgun in the truck! She said don't let a goat on that new seat!  |
Isn't it great to make someones day like that. Put the dog in the front and goat in the back....
