Yeah, most C/20s were leaf spring, the exception is coil springs on those. It could be that the Dana60 came with the automatic transmission, just a hunch. I know the Custom Camper/20s with 4.10/leaf/350/TH350 got a Dana60. They were rated at slightly more payload than the HO52 (for some reason), so might have to do with that on Custom Campers. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were HO52 leaf spring Custom Campers, too. But maybe only manual trans?
