Not sure what my RPMs are since I dont have a tach but I did put slightly oversized tires (235/85/R16) on it to make it capible of highway speeds. Side note the vintage salvage yard here where I live has a 4 speed with an aftermarket overdrive still attached to a 65 GMC if anybody wants me to go ask about it. I dont remember if the tranny was a SM420 or a SM465 though.
Did you ever find out if that guy has that trans?
