Default Highway Gears for Ford 8-inch Axle?

Can anyone point me to a maker or supplier of new ring and pinion gear sets
for a Ford 8-inch axle in a ratio range somewhere between about 2.56 and
2.93?

I know Ford made 2.79, because my 67 Coupe came with that ratio, but I
haven't found any new replacement gears below 3.0.

Thanks!
