Arrow Rear Gears!!! Help please!

Hello, everybody! Been a while since I posted, but I've got a question for ya. Rear gears. I'm pretty sure I've got 4.11s, I don't have a tach, but I know my six has to rev high to keep 60 MPH, and since I just dropped a couple grand to have it rebuilt, I don't want to work it hard. I don't need the low gearing anymore, I won't be towing or hauling much with it; higher road gears will be more suitable for what I'll be doing. I'm thinking of going to 3.55s.

How difficult will it be for me to do it myself? It's a 1971 half-ton, New Process 435 4-speed. I don't have the truck with me or nearby at the moment, so I don't know exactly what rear axle I have, but maybe with the given information you guys can help me out.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
