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

Re: The Government Mule - 62 c20 with service bed
Pretty sure it has 4.57 rear gears. For now. These gears with a non-overdrive tranny and 31 inch tires, 50 to 55 mph would be about right. Mine will be changed out to a later Dana 60 with 3.73's as the last phase of my drivetrain modifications. The goal with my 62 is modern drivability while keeping that "farm truck" look. Check out the link, new update soon.

Re: The Government Mule - 62 c20 with service bed
Picked up the TJ springs and some 2" square tube for the lowering blocks from my brother this weekend. Hoping to at least get the springs in one day this week.

Re: The Government Mule - 62 c20 with service bed
Popped the TJ springs in yesterday afternoon. Looks like they brought the rear down about 4 1/2 inches.....but I do have a little bit of weight from junk piled in the bed. Need some lower spring retainers and bolts for the trailing arms as they were shot and I cut/beat them out.
When I said "running 235" in my first post, I should have said "barely running". I almost made a lap around the neighborhood, but it was spitting and sputtering the whole way.
