No plans to full on restore the truck. I will try and patch up the bad places though. Other than that, I just want to get it down low and make a reliable driver that's still a functional worker. The more I think about it, the more I want to replace the 235 with a 292.

Re: The Government Mule - 62 c20 with service bed

Hell that's about what I'm doing with mine, replace the bad and get it going. Hopefully there's not to much rust in that cab. Also I've debated fixing the 292 that came in mine, but I've had a replacement engine waiting for a project so I'm kinda torn. Would defiantly be cool with a beefed up inline though.

Beef the 292. Did it, no regrets.
