An overdrive transmission from a Ford car would help your gearing. Problem is the input shaft which has a larger dia. in the truck. This usually can be overcome by using a car case. 6 cyl. input shaft brg. with the truck input shaft. You might have to come up with the correct cluster gear to mesh with the truck input shaft. Now if you have floor shift you have problems. I did this once but it was 40 years ago. Ford-trucksdotcom has archives with pics and some info. Good luck.
