The Pachecos of Trementina, NM

I was following a beautiful & lonely road, NM 104, from Tucumcari, NM up to Las Vegas NM when I came across the astonishing collection of vehicles created by Elmo & Charlie Pacheco in their yard/shop at Trementina, NM. Most of the trucks they've created are running Cummins diesels and they are all road machines, no trailer queens. Had to watch out for rattlesnakes while stumbling through a huge collection of amazing machines.

 '72 Chevy (raw material for the Pacheco Bros.)
 More later on this '57 Ford sedan delivery


 I can't remember what this unit was at birth...
