Sorry but the truck at the drive inn was a 1955 -57 GMC, Ennis's first truck, the same one when he returns home to find Jack's postcard.

Thank you Heath and Jake for showing us Ennis and Jack,  teaching us how much they loved one another.

I stand corrected! Mark, does that two-tone  truck appear before the post-divorce scene, then?

I believe the first scene it is shown is the 2nd camping trip we see "Your late...." when Ennis pulls up with the horses in the bed. According to the screenplay this is 1969 and Jack's blue Ford is a 1977. This truck of Ennis's is the same make and model, and if I could see the grille, maybe year of Jack's red truck.

This two tone combo of Ennis's truck was quite popular and there are two different 1966 Ford F100 I see regularly in my area with these colors.

Just notice some interesting about the trucks. In the scene where Ennis stops at the bar after Thanksgiving, parked on the oppisite side of the street is a truck very similar to Ennis. It actually a Mercury truck sold in Canada, nearly identical to Fords.

Hi
Yes it was only sold in Canada, but would not be an unusual sight in Wyoming of any of the northern states and as all Mercurys made by Ford.
