Ford Graveyard, Marfa (Part 1)

from David Branch, in far-West Texas:
"I have been wanting to photograph these trucks/wander around this
place for a while. I have met the fellow who owns them in passing
several times but not lingered long enough to request an invite. He traps
mountain lions for a living. He drives
a 1968 short bed F-100 4wd that has a 390, a top-shift fourspeed, 3/4
ton axles and 16in wheels. I shoulda shot that one too but you'll have
to be content with the "scraps" as it were. More than a lifetime worth
of 68-72 Ford parts and an few from other eras as well. He plans to
swap his '68 frame for a '79 3/4 ton "sometime soon." From the look ofit he has a line on a few."--DB
