Rear end ratio for 700R4?

Just decoded the GM 12-bolt rear that came with my '51 panel truck - it claims to be a 2.73 ratio. Is this too high to be suitable for a 700R4 overdrive trans? Stock SBC motor and trans, 28" tires. Most of my driving is freeway and I virtually always accelerate like your granny.

PS: Online speed/rpm calculators show that at 65 mph I'll be turning about 1500 rpm.
