Re: My 62

Welcome to the forum. Easiest solution may be just a rear axle gear swap. Is your truck a Chevy or a GMC? Most of the 1/2 ton GMC's have Dana 44 rear axles and gear sets are plentiful since so many 4x4 & Jeep guys use them.

Another option is swapping in an overdrive transmission. I'm running a 350, Super T10 4 speed and 4.10 rear axle. Works fine in my situation since I rarely take the truck long distances or on the freeway, but if yours is a daily driver getting the rpms down will be much more practical.
