Default 8rt bellhousing

This has been a bit confusing for me. I bought an 8rt to install in a '47 tonner. It came from a '49 f3. Unfortunately he had sold the cast iron belhousing on ebay. Hoping to be by his place today and buy the crash box 4 speed from the same truck. Will a stamped steel bh like one I have here work? The engine has an 11" clutch which I'd like to use. Also will need a starter. Will one from a 59ab work? I have lots of 59ab stuff. Thanks in advance. Heading over to the mainland today, wish me luck!
