I used to drive a 1972 with 4 and 2, was a great road machine. I would expect it to be governed at 60 MPH, as all truck of that era were. Just hold the pedal to the floor and enjoy the cruise.

You don't think the RPMs would be too high?

Currently looking for an Action Line truck, specifically 1969-1970, in very good condition. Longbed only, step or fleetside, or flatbed if C30. Must be unmolested (not modded).
