6 cylinder top speed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking at 55 - 57 Chevy trucks on EBAY and CL. They seem to be in two camps, those with original 6 cylinder and those that have a crate 350 etc. My hope is to drive the truck to work every Friday. This involves about 10 miles of SF freeway driving. Not looking for high performance but I need to safely enter the freeway and keep up with everyone ~ 65 mph.

The general question is driving a classic truck to work on Friday practical?

The specific question is do I need more power than a 6 cylinder provides.

Apologies in advance for the newbie question.
