Pat Rogers got the Texas Gypsy going by hooking up an Optima battery with a booster pack and disconnecting the fuel line then hooking it up, via an electric pump, to fresh fuel in a plastic tank. Pat's 1964 VW was our support vehicle. The Gypsy started with a rumble; the big-block Chevy sounded good. Put on an LP and set off through Alpine, Texas, me riding shotgun while holding onto the plastic fuel jug which was (sort of) mounted on the passenger-side mirror frame. We're still trying to ID this truck. The title says " 1928 Meteor". "Meteor" is stamped on the hubs but Meteor may have been a wheel manufacturer, nothing else. Can;t find Meteor trucks. There's a piece on the hood that says "Royal" but I don't think that's original. Check the last post. Any guesses?
what a beauty.
