All,
I am restoring a 1959 32 apache fleetside. I want to turn it into my everyday driver, plus be able to travel on the highway. what gears should I put in it to have it travel at 65 or 70? it has the 235 6 cylinders.
 
Welcome to our forum.


With 31 inch tall tires (like mine) at 70 MPH

3.08:1 gears yield 2339 RPM
3.36:1 gears yield 2552 RPM
3.55:1 gears yield 2696 RPM

The 235 will be pretty wound up by then.
