While in his early 20s, Bob had purchased the truck from a retiring farmer for $75. He used the pickup to drive to and from his job at the Prinsburg grain elevator.
Thirty-eight years later, Bob was still driving the same $75 truck on his retirement day.
It becomes a part of you, I don't know how to explain it, Bob said in the 2015 story.
Five-and-a-half years later, Bob could still be heard rumbling through Prinsburg in his truck, its seat upholstered in duct tape, its body panels a Swiss cheese of rust holes.
But no longer. The truck will be spending its days in Willmar now, after Bob sold it to Tom Leenstra, grandson of the late John VanDerVeen who sold the truck 44 years ago to Bob.
It's like riding with my Grandpa again, Tom said. For years Tom has been pestering Bob about selling the truck.
Bobs wife, Kathy, did her share of pestering too.
