I have been pondering if you could find a lower gear for fifth too.
I have to drive my truck a 100 km to my folks place and 330km to the cottage and 360 if I go to my folks place then the cottage (thanks Google maps) and a great deal of that is on expressways and highways. and i wouldn't mind a slightly lower highway rpm I usually cruse around 90 - 105 km/h (55-65mph) on the highway depends if i have to be anywhere. and if i recall correctly the truck is usually doing 2200 - 2700 rpm (but don't quote me)

The 5th gear in a W58 is the exact same as the W55's 5th gear. The ratios in a W58 are offset because of a different input shaft, but they are the same ratios otherwise. Swapping in a 5th gear out of a W58 is the same as taking it out of a W55, which is the same as leaving things as they are in your W56.
