Default Want o go highway speeds ??? Need opinions.

My 1939 pickup overheats if I go over 60 MPH.
Do I change the rear gear to 3.25:1 ratio or, install a T5 transmission from a Chevy S10 with overdrive to be able to travel at highway speeds.
Which is the better plan and makes most since financially.
Thanks for your thoughts and guidance.
