Post Differential change

Hi, New user here. Wondering if anyone can help. Just bought a 1965 f250 camper special in way above condition. Engine was changed to a 302 but I have found an original 352. Would like to change the differential and/or maybe the trans. Has a top loader 4 spd, with 1st being a grannie gear. Need to know what I can change the differential to so I can reach highway speeds w/o blowing the motor up. I'm thinking, but dont know that maybe a diff. out of a mid 60's 3/4 ton van with an auto trans may work, but I do not know for sure. Also may switch the trans to a bw t-10 4 spd as well as the diff. If anyone has better information than I, would appreciate feedback. Thanks Jerry
