There are two jalopies parked near Joe Aguirre's trailer:  Jack's old truck and someone else's.

def. = an old, dilapidated motor vehicle, especially an automobile.

"M" is mix

Aguirre makes it clear that he doesn't want Jack and Ennis to mix business with pleasure when he says that the camp tender stays in the main camp but the herder pitches a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's going to sleep there.
