I have an unrestored 1950 3100, 216, 3 spd with new wheels and tires and unrestored steering and front end.

I drive regularly at 55 without vibration or wonkiness. I've had the truck up to 65 without issue. I believe that if my engine could tolerate sustained driving at speeds of 65mph I would experience no vibration.

Check your driveshaft, flywheel, whatever else that causes vibration at speed or just drive 55 and be happy with your old truck.
