Re: The Government Mule - 62 c20 with service bed

Sounds like it's gonna be an awesome build, I'm in. If I was you I wouldn't use tj springs, they can't carry much load and with the service bed it could put you close or on the bump stops.

I've heard that about the TJ springs. I was thinking maybe some helper bags in the rear...but then if I go with helper bags, why not just bag it in the first place? We will see!

A few more of the interior, the torsion bars cranked down and a little sanding on the door.

Very cool! Nice to see another early C20 here. Looking forward to see what you do with it.

Thanks! Do you know what gears your truck has? Just wondering how the 235 and 4 speed does on the highway. I would imagine its screaming at around 60 mph or so.
