Default Re: Is changing rear ratios worth it?

I have 4.10s or 4.65s on in my 64 GMC 1500. 55 is around 2500. I have found that the best cruising RPM for my 305E is 2000. 2500 sounds like its screaming. I tow and haul loads with my GMC so I'm gonna leave the ratio as is for ease of taking off and ease of load on the engine. But if I ever get tired of the mileage I'll see about converting to an NV4500 if possible.
