I am not really sure. I do not have a tach, but it sounds like I am at top end about 50MPH and unless I am going downhill I am not getting much more speed. The truck has just gone into the shop for a complete frame off restoration and when it is done I want to be able to drive it on the highway when needed. I want to leave it as original as possible, so changing gears would be my preferred option, but there is probably no better time for me to put in a different transmission if that is what will be needed to make it highway drivable.
I really want to leave it as a three speed (learned to drive on one), so I am thinking that if I cant fix with gears I want to get a 3 speed trans to leave it as original as possible.
I will put in a tach but probably hide it under the dash somewhere, so that in the future I will have a better measurement tool.
Thanks for all advice.
