i bet the RTA will say HAY when they see the load on that dodge !

i bet that dodge will sit on 40 the whole way

Don't sneer at the speed capabilities of Dodge trucks .. the 6 cylinder versions were highly satisfactory .. the V8's fly .. seen a bloke do a 600 km round trip, to pick up a big genset, in a Dodge 760 .. in just over 6 hrs .. in 1966, when roads were a lot worse, than they are now ..
The little Dodges (200 & 300 series) with the 318 V8, will sit on 130 kliks all day ..

The Mermaid and cops will spot that load of hay from 10 kliks away, and home in on ya, with the tape .. they love hay, it's always overwidth, and always good for a ticket .. :'(

Just reminising as you say those Dodges with the 318s flew and sounded great remember Halls from Seymour running those as paper trucks and would hear that pulling away from the local general store in the early hours of the morning
