47 pickup rear end swap?

I am thinking of swapping out my rear end for a better ratio for highway travel. What is the best rear end to look for that would work with the 47? Currently I am running a 232 flathead motor.

    Have you considered installing overdrive?  That would give you flexibility.  I assume you're running the standard 4.11 rearend?

    fyi,
     I have a '53 Spicer rear in my Trk with spacers but had to bend out the inner fender panels slightly since they are wider than the frame rails. I also have a Ford rear End in one because wheels are the same bolt circle and the U Joint interchanges.
