Cleaning up a 42 Ford sideloader Trans

I've got a transmission off a 42 Ford Flathead I'm looking to tear down and attempt to rebuild for the sake of education. This will be my first ****** I've done more than just remove the pan on so I'm looking for a guide or some detailed drawing as a reference. I did a search here to no avail so if anyone has any links or anything that would help shoot em my way. Also what does it take to change one of these to open drive? I've got an open drive tailshaft what other parts do I need? Hopefully I can get this done and cleaned up/ working again so I can put it behind my flathead and not go the T5 route

I've seen that but wondered how much does a top-loader differ from a side-loader?

Never mind, I clicked through to here and found it covers all 32-49 http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_trans-book.htm

 

Not much. I think its just that the forks are on the side. The gears from each interchange.

I'm gonna throw this back up top for the night people

I bought Mac Van Pelt's book some time back. It's priceless for I.D. and interchange. He covers very well, side loader as well as open drive parts. Well worth the price and is in Basic English for those of us that Know but arn't Sure. You'd do well to add it to your Library.
