Got this is a barn full of Ford top loaders. Marked 9C-xxxxx.
What's it out of?

9C = '39 Commercial???

The notch in the bell housing looks like it was behind a 4cyl

I agree with skidmarks, 1941 4 cyl.

However, the shifter tower appears to be the 36-38 single detent type. The 41-42 pickup 4 cylinder transmissions had an oddball low ratio gearset, with the late style synchro design. You’ll want to check out what you have there....

The spur gear 1st and the late syncro looks like the set up used in the 48 ford truck heavy duty 3 speed.

I think Mac and skidmarks nailed it... looks like a 11y-7061 mainshaft. The sure signs would be to confirm that the main drive gear is 14 teeth rather than the typical 15 or 16

Also, the picture of the large shifter fork is inconclusive......there should be the “91A-7230” number cast into the top of the fork (on the front side). Those 1941 types would have come with the 81A-7222 double detent towers so I’d guess someone grabbed the earlier tower. To function correctly, it would need the 91A type fork. As Michael pointed out, the main drive gear would have 14 teeth. It’s a pretty low ratio gearset, made for the little pickup truck 4 cylinder chassis.

Mac, I picked one of those units up out of the woods, still in the truck. pretty sure it was an old milk truck at one time. had the same 15 tooth car type gearset with closed drive. weirdest part was the transmission was 95% full of water except for the very top. only the two or three teeth on the input shaft were exposed to the air. rust free gears except those teeth!
