The Blue Mule
I figured the Mule has been around long enough to deserve a build page. Its current state is sbc 350 with promax heads and a thumper cam 227/241 Q jet on an rpm intake backed by th350 trans 2500 stall and a 3.42 posi truck 12 bolt out back. Inside the Dakota digital dash is the star of the show. Outside its the usual drop spindles cut springs in front and blocks and drops springs make up the backend. The look comes from CLR and Penetrol.

Re: The Blue Mule
The combination of centre caps, chrome bolts on black rims
really suit the truck! |

Re: The Blue Mule
I put the mule to work yesterday with a little trip to the tire shop to get tires mounted for the red truck. I wanted to try out her new 2 speed wipers, great upgrade.

Re: The Blue Mule
I really like the vibe on your truck, and it sits just right. Plenty of power with the engine you've built. Just seems like it would be a ball to cruise around and run errands like you did with picking up the tires. What is the story on the tires for the red truck? Those look wide and slick.

Re: The Blue Mule
The mule went to unofficial Laporte cruise night. Burnouts just up and down main street and we saw his pig nosed brother. Great night |

Re: The Blue Mule
The mule has gotten itself an upgrade to a Holley sniper and so far its passed itself off as a carb everywhere it went. Works awesome too
 ...and it got farm tires and white wheels |

Re: The Blue Mule
The mule took a trip up to Symco Wisconsin this weekend to hang out with some of his brothers and found some mud in the process

Re: The Blue Mule
Looks like a good show. I love that GMC camper. The dirty tires on The Blue Mule really bring out the old farm truck look
