Am a newbie (lady) owner of a Canadian built 58 Fleetside with it's matching straight 6. I LOVE driving my 3 on the tree (and the puzzled looks I get when I tell younguns that's what I drive). It's first trip was home from auction 185 miles averaging 60-65 mph and she did fine. My question is related to highway travel/speed/distance. I am hesitant to take her too far on highway cruises with the speed limit here 70 mph. Should I be? I am more than willing to stay in the slow lane as people pass & stare - I just want to make sure I am not pushing this engine past it's limits.

Here's a link to a pic of my baby taken a by a randon stranger. https://www.flickr.com/photos/buglugs/6968595784/in/photostream/
