Odus and Orus Stokes were identical twins, who fixed automobiles together for nearly 70 years. God Bless them.

Odus and Orus.
Texas.
Perfect.

The only thing that would make that better is having Charles Kuralt doing the narrating.
The world will not see the likes of those two again.

www.texascountryreporter.com/about has a mention of the Charles Kuralt connection in Bob Phillips' earlier life. Phillips has been doing these shows for many decades. Check out the website.

Where the Stokes Brothers are located, in TX, is a quieter part of the state, south of Abilene. An environment that can be a definite throw-back in time. A very stable environmentr of sorts that allows them to thrive as they and their customers age. NO telling what treasures are hidden in the parts bins of that shop!
