That is a beautiful truck!
As mentioned, 50 mph is approaching the upper limits of what the truck is designed for. You can probably squeeze more out of it, but as you've already noticed, it'll sound like it's coming apart. And if you do it enough, it just might!
Take good care of it and it will last a long time.
