He went on to say that he was hoping for engineering expertise in duplicating this truck for the movie. I took his word for it because he sounded convincing enough and although we hadn't seen any money yet, I asked a few friends of mine if they would be interested in helping with this project. My team was made up of all engineers who got a kick out of the story and felt compelled to help. Right is the Engineering Team that never was. Left to Right: Deve Krehbiel, Stan Swartzendruber, Richard Swartzendruber, Gene Swartzendruber and Wayne Swartzendruber. In case you are wondering why we are so Swartzendruber heavy in this endeavor it's because those brothers (and son) are renowned in this area for their engineering expertise. You have to honor someone who defied the odds and went to these extremes for his family. So we were pretty excited about it. ...
