Default Interchangeability?

A question remains: are the Ford early and late styles interchangeable? Was it simply a change to a better design?
A review of the Chev Major Assembly books shows a similar wide variation in steering gears: often attributed to whether the truck was "arcticized" or not. Were some of these changes due to clearance problems with specialized equipment? Often the chang seemed to be as simple as a variation in the length of the pitman arm shaft.

my truck may have been updated or had a transmission swap at some point in its life.it was previously owned by roberts creek fire dept and it looks like they spent a lot of time doing mechanical work to it.it lookks to me like the flanges are the 6inch diameter ones but the truck is registered as a 1942 model by the trans vin stamp.all my data plates were missing.

Not directly as the type 400 has a much larger mounting bracket. I have seen some rather bodgy examples of welded brackets used, hardly safe!
