Artifact History:	Unknown

Artifact Condition:	This vehicle is a large flatbed truck. The wheels are very distinctive on this vehicle. The front is a heavy 6 spoke rim with the center core filled in some. The rear wheel is entirely different and appears more like a snowflake with 6 opening in the center core. Fire wall is present as is the engine and a rather thin radiator. Front fender runs down into the side running board which ends right at the end of the cab. The cab was wooden and is gone although some lower framework appears to be still in place for its mounting. There are two pole bracings lying on top of the firewall with line connected to them in two places. These may have been part of the windshield or cab.

Additional Information:	From 1910 to 1933, Indiana Trucks was a truck manufacturer in Marion, Indiana. In 1911, the company changed its name to the Harwood-Barley Manufacturing Company. In 1925, the company claimed to be "one of the most successful manufacturers of high grade Motor Trucks in the country".
