I drove my 1950 216 for work yesterday. The engine is unrestored and the transmission is still three on the tree. It ticks over like a sewing machine.

I put over 100 miles on it making my service calls and stayed at 50-55 on the freeway. That's what you can expect from truck built 72 years ago when they didn't have interstate highways.

If you want to drive 70, don't drive a truck made in the 1940s.
