I'm betting this is it. These trucks can handle cruising at 3,000 to 3,800 RPM's at highway speeds all day long. It's how they were built. Back then gas was .40 cents a gallon no one cared that they would pass everything but a gas station. Small blocks don't start making power until they get a little RPM in them anyways.
