Anyone ran an I6, 3 on the tree on the highway?

My truck is gonna be mostly original, so I'm sticking with the original 230, 3 speed column shift. I will occasionally use this truck for about 2HR highway trips. I know it will be loud, but has anyone used this setup on the highway? Does anyone think they can guess the speed it will top out at?

For reference I have my '57 3100. Tired 235, 3 on the tree and 3:92 rear. My '64 has a 230 that is noticeably stronger, same tranny and 3:73 rear. The '57 tops out at exactly 70mph. It isn't screaming until 60. Do you think the '64 will be the same?
