One Ton Differential Gearing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Help Please! I have a 57 Chevy 3600 (3/4 Ton). In the past, it has had a one-ton axle put under it. The gear ratio is Super slow. I have a granny low in the transmission to get me moving, so I wanted to change the gearing. Where do I go to find a ring and pinion for this 1-Ton Axle? Should I just find some other complete axle assembly with hopefully the same hub face width and torch the brackets and mounts and fab it into my truck? Sounds like a hassle either way.
Thanks
