Thought I'd share some pictures of one, I intend to put it in my 52 1 ton behind a Spicer 5 speed OD and a 3-53T detroit diesel.

Ratios on the 6041 are 2.14, 1.24, 1.00, and 0.86:1 for 1st through 4th gears respectively.
My 3053 spicer 5 speed has a 0.85:1 OD already, making double overdrive an effective 0.73:1.

It is a little on the large side for a 1 ton but it's not that big of a stretch. I like that it has a parking brake, I might use a disc brake conversion on the 14 bolt rear and that solves the parking problem without the expensive Cadillac calipers.
