I currently have an 81 GMC Short Stepside with 250 6, T350c, 2.73 rear gears and 31x10.50 rear tires. I drive the heck out of it. RPMs at 70 are around 2k. Granted I am not going to accelerate much with that combo at highway speeds, but it still will go above 70 no issues. I drive it all over, especially right now since my normal DD has no heat. But yes than can survive as a DD. I make a 300 mile round trip with it at least once a month, so drive on
