5500 NAPCO front ???

1969 USAF GMC5500 with NAPCO front axle (7.20 ratio) believe it's an Eaton. What numerically smaller gearset could I use to make this beast more highway-able? It can't be that easy as installing a ring gear/pinion from a rear axle of similar weight rating, can it?
Any input appreciated!
