I brought home a new toy last weekend, The Blue Mule in suburban form. Its a 283 and power glide setup that may or may not run. It was last on the road in 2004, the plan is just to do brakes and a little suspension work and just enjoy it this year

Congrats from a fellow burb owner (66 GMC, 66 Chevy K10). Curious about that roof rack, from the pics maybe it is from a Chevy wagon of the same era?

The mule is out and the burb is getting its turn indoors. Hopefully I'll start getting into it in the next couple weeks.

So plans have changed with the burb, it's now becoming the leftover parts build. It's getting a gen 3 6.0 w 706 heads and the 228/232 on a 112 cam. 1218 springs, the terminator X that was originally for the red truck and a th400 w a 10" 3200 converter.

Are those 60s specific coil overs. I see a lot 67- up but not a lot pre 67

This kit is a CPP one that's good for 63-70 trucks

Got the tank mocked in. Fit is excellent. Easy to mount too with the Boyd universal mounting kit.
