There were only two gear ratios available from Dodge, and really neither is ideal for a true highway truck. If you really want it to be one, an axle swap is really on the only option as it also comes with the brake and steering upgrades. However you loose the BUDD wheel look, and of course there's quite a bit of fabrication involved, but price was it's probably a wash, rebuilding and upgrading these axles is probably the single biggest expense on upgrading these trucks.
Lots of info here and at the PWA on these conversions, take a long hard look before diving in, it's not a project for the light-hearted!
