George, the gears from your 41 will be fine. Any of the column shift cars, "side shift" trans cases up to about 48 will work fine. The side shift trans are more available and are used as doners for redoing the desireable top shift boxes. If your 41 is a pickup with a floor shift, then it may have the earilier gearset as the commercial cars (pickups) were last to get the late gearset. Actually the late side shift synchro (51A)is not correct for top shift boxes and can cause problems although it does fit just fine. Please call Mac VP and order his trans book and read the whole thing. You will be very glad you did.
