Go for the 241D case. (LD or HD, either would be an improvement.) You can find them in 98 and up 3/4 and one ton GAS trucks. Gotta be a v-8 though, the 10 uses a different trans output shaft. (I think)

Only problem with the 241HD is that it has a PTO shaft on it.

That was an option. Most just have a cover plate where the PTO drive would go. Mine doesn't have the PTO.

Doh! Yep, looked through the 99 brochure again and it says that it's PTO ready. So it wasn't "optional", it has the ability to, you just have to buy the PTO unit.

I am almost 100% sure that v10/diesels used a 23 spline output on the back of their auto's, just like the gas transmissions.

Entirely possible... I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the shaft was larger diameter on the diesels, and 10's??

With the stick's they had a 29 spline output, but the auto's use the same sized 23 spline. Just did a double check. Inputs are definitely bigger, maybe that's what you're thinking.
