If it is bsically 800 miles back the long way, that is 16 hours if you drive continusoly at 50 mph. I doubt you will average any more than that if that, how is a 64 truck geared? It may be cranking pretty good at 55 or 60 mph, you may not want to push it too much faster for that long unless it is in real good shape. And you will need some stops for fuel, food, rest, taking a leak, etc. Averageing 50 mph will be doing good I think. I would allow up to 20 hours as you may want a nap too at some point. Are you taking tools, oil, etc. If the truck isn't in top condition I would check the rear end, transmission and grease everything before I moved it onto the freeway. And take oil to top off these gearboxes if they should leak or develope a leak. I think, even though it is longer I would avoid Canada too. You might get by OK, but on the other hand you could get caught in something that would cost you hours and $$$. Maybe take some gas cans too to buy where gas is less.
