1975 Chevrolet Suburban

From David Branch. in Far-West Texas: "This one didn’t get away. It’s a Marfa truck, also sold new here, I believe at Casner Motors. Originally owned by Bascom Webb and used among other things for trips to a family ranch in Chihuahua. Sold to Johnny Calderon who had a Spanish Rock and R&B band called Johnny and The Rockets. Was a gig truck for him, used touring Texas and New Mexico. Then sold to Joe Sanchez, from whom I bought it. He was a coach at Marfa High and drove it to away games and tournaments. It sat in his backyard for about 12 years (I actually remember it from when it was still driving around on the streets) with plans to work on it. He had the seats reupholstered and some engine work done but never drove it again. I was able to talk it off of him. It’s taken some work over the last year and a half to get it up to snuff but she’s looking sharp after a pre-road trip detail & service. I’m driving her to Virginia on Monday to attend my sister’s wedding. Gonna take a week or so and wander home. Say a prayer to the square body gods for me. See you ‘round campus."

AL note: The Marfa-to Maine 1975 C10: (GMC Sierra Grande 1500 with a Chevy tailgate). Many Texas trucks used to have dealers' names engraved on bumper. Bumpers were often dealer-installed.
