You may want to check out the books offered by the Early Ford V-8 Club. Their web site is earlyfordv8.org
The online store has the Great Trucks-1940-1941 Pickup Truck booklet. This is not a technical book but does show differences of the two pickups.
You did not say what your intentions were with the pickup, but if you intend to keep it close to original, then the Club's 1941-1948 Ford Book will help you determine what is correct for the drive train and chassis of your vehicle, since 1/2 ton pickups and passenger vehicles were the same, The rest of the book deals with passenger vehicle bodies.
Hope this helps. And it would be a good idea to also join the Club. There are many Regional Groups around the country with members that are willing to help. In Texas alone there are 9 Regional Groups.
