Autoliterate Truck of the Years Runners-Up: Texas Gypsy & 1975 GMC K20

2 machines from very different ends of the truck spectrum. The first is as yet unclassified: we're referring to it as the Royal Meteor because it has Meteor axles and a piece of chrome on the snout that says Royal, probably not original. Looks to me from the early 1930s. Read more here. If you can ID this truck, let's hear it, please.
I saw this truck one morning in Colorado Springs and it has stayed with me. Okay, I like GMC/Chevrolets of that era, when they are done right, which few of them are. No vehicle has been more billet-ed. But this is a rugged old 3/4 ton 4WD ranch truck, everything basic and rugged as hell. AL's idea of an old truck. More here.
