The West Texas Ford F-250 Man: Roy's Shop in Marfa

from Don Culbertson, in Marfa Texas:
"Roy, known as Popo to the kids in town, has been tuning up cars and trucks for 5 decades. Originally from Ft Davis, he set up shop here in Marfa. Roy drives  a 1975 F-250. He keeps my 1978 F250 on the road. Roy reluctantly rebuilt my allis chalmers 50/50 tractor. It's not a Ford, but he fixed it. Here's a sample of what's parked on his lot. Roy's is the place to pump up the tires, have a cold beer and bask in the presence of the old timers...
"The black truck is for sale."--DGC
