A way I found around that problem is changing to 16" wheels (from some
modernish 1/2 ton Chevy 4 WD) and 235's; the extra diameter of the tires
puts me at about 60 mph when the speedo reads 50. But I also have a
small block V8 of unknown age and capacity, and maybe that makes a
difference.

Jack said:[talking about 3.90] Paul this was stock for '58. It is all
right for errands around town, to the
dump etc but limits highway use to about 50 MPH before the motor is
uncomfortable.
