Rear end gears for a 51 chevy pickup

Does anyone make any higher gears than 3.55 for the stock rearends in a 51 chevy pickup?

I'd like to find something in a 3.08 ratio. I'd like to keep the stock closed rearend like it is if I could but its no big deal. I know I can use a later model open drive chunk in the old rearend with new spring pads but I'd like to keep it relatively stockish.

The only kit I saw that they offered were for the 3.55 gears and I want higher gears than that. I want 3.08s.
