I have a Canadian 44 1/2 ton and the numbers matching motor is a 1940 and the steering gear is pre 41. Also the headliner is 1 piece. I think they were built with whatever was available.
I’m going thru the gear swap right now. Canadian differential is different size from US differential so you can’t just change them. Also ring gear bolt spacing is different so new 3.55 gears will not bolt to Canadian differential. I’m drilling new ring gear to match Canadian differential.
I’ve found a lot of differences between the 2 and a lot of non usable parts and money along the way...
