The slab you were wondering about was the Cattlemen's cafe. Best place to eat through the late 60s.

@@route66roadrelics66 I lived in Truxton in the early 70's...mom and dad worked at the truxton station and truxton cafe. Back then the school only had 2 rooms but we only used 1. 17 kids in 1st - 6th grade in 1 room with 1 teacher. The small building connected to the Cafe used to be living quarters with a rock fence out front. Met Steve McQueen there, watched Ralph Hunter catch fire in the Texico and used to sell cactus to the travelers from the east coast who had never seen cactus before. I sat in some of the cars you show in the video. Ray Barker spent most of his day hiding from Mildred because she would put him to work. He would come in the cafe smelling of cigarettes, aqua velva, and brycreme. He always had a smile on his face.

Greetings from Salinas Pueblo. I am currently doing a video of our visit to this unique place. Love your video and appreciate your hard work. I started my own travel channel in January and look forward to hitting 1000 subs and the 4000 watch hours. I love the challenge and especially enjoy sharing this gorgeous country with as many people as I can. I have gobs of information and experience because I’ve traveled this country fulltime for over 31 years and been to over 250 National Parks, all of the ones in New Mexico, hundreds of State Parks and other public hiking locations. Many of which you have been to. Safe travels to you. Edit on!

Thank you for such a wonderful video, Big Mike! I turned 70 in July and retired on August 1st. For many years, I've planned to take my first big road trip after retirement along Route 66. I'll be selling my home in the Spring and moving to St. George, UT where I'll settle for good after a very successful business career. I can't wait to hit the road and I must say, your video makes me wish it was Spring already. Thanks!

I worked in a Deep Rock gas station on US-66 in Oklahoma City in 1966 and 67. I-40 was under construction but not yet open any further west. The station was 24/7 until 1967. We pumped gas, washed windshields and even vacuumed out customers cars on request. There was a hoist and a tire changing machine. Gas was $0.25.9 except during gas wars.
