I think it was around 53 MPH?

If it's a 3-speed like my father has, slowing down makes a big difference. 3500 RPM at 65 MPH!
4 speed. Was a 3 speed, but transmission died so he replaced the engine and transmission since it was a bit smokey at 250k (I blame 15W40 and routine starting below freezing)
FSM says that the TC locks up at as low as 44 mph.
