I also have a 58 2-ton, original rear and tranny, Mine has a 327 in it. I can roll about 70 down the freeway but the engine is spinning about 4200 RPM. Unfortunately, there is not much magic to going faster, tires need to roll farther per engine RPM, that leaves you 3 options: 1. spin the driveshaft faster (, higher engine RPM, OD tranny, or separate OD box) 2. Change rear end gears 3. Taller tires in rear Mike 1955 Chevy 6400 ex-flatbed (no bed now!) sold September 2023 In the Stovebolt Gallery 1958 Chevy 6400 flatbed W/dump In the Stovebolt Gallery 1959 Chevy Suburban Owned for almost 20 years, Daily Driver -- sold May 2016 In the Stovebolt Gallery Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof
