The Twin
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

Re: The Twin
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?

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

Re: The Twin
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.
