Rear Gear change for better mpg

I have a 63 C10 with a 250 inline 6 put in a 700r4. When I had the tranny swapped I was told I had a 2.73 rear end. I am currently getting 11mpg, and I don't ever expect to get great gas millage out of this truck, but I was told going to a lower gear would probably help. I'm mostly city driving with some hwy miles. Does anyone else have this kind of setup and any thoughts on a good rear end gear setup?
