But a plan is starting to form. The 64 burb has a bad body but the 60 carryall has the earlier less desirable chassis. Use the best of both and combine with a 5.3, 4l60 and disc rear all from an 02 that I have. Toss the bulbous hood and use a 65 GMC hood thats out back. New gauges and static drop and some 16" artillery wheels with wide whites. Nothing too radical but all well done.

Of course the plan is all adaptable because this one is a 'build to suit' truck and I haven't found the new owner yet. So, for now, its going out on the range with the rest of the herd.

Another thought… this carryall is so complete that it would be a candidate for a complete restoration should the right person come along.

I will post more pics as i can and also the 64 burb when i get it here…

When you start replacing engine and transmission, I would like to get a hold of the transmission.
Thank,
