Many of the different years gear sets will fit into the 34 case, (not sure of 50) but you have to get the front bearing in place on the shaft after installing the gear set and the front shaft. The shift top has to change as well as the shift lever. The sheet metal transmission cover on the floor has to be slightly modified. There is nothing wrong with getting the 34 style cluster and other gears along with another 34 syncro and rebuilding the transmission. You will actually save a bit of cash, for example a NOS early cluster is usually around $60 where the later style is several hundred.
