The shifter levers are different as well.
The transmission might have some core value if the OD guts are in good shape.

Thanks for the info, Mac! When it's time to get new transmission parts I'll be giving you a call.
Is the 1951 overdrive transmission -- I mean the transmission itself, not the Borg-Warner stuff -- the same as in the '49 and '50 Fords or is '51 unique?
