Would someone be able to email me a diagram of how I can get the cranking mechanisms and windows out of a 1941 Ford 1/2 ton pickup?

Thanks,

Pretty easy. You start by removing the door access panel. Remove the window handle by depressing the escution against the spring and pushing the retaining pin out, releasing the handle and spring and escution. Take the screws holding the panel on and remove the panel. Inside you will see the gear that raises and lowers the window. There's a bolt that keeps the mechanism from going too far, and running the arms from running off the track. Remove this bolt and nut from the mechanism, and keep it. It will go back in when you replace the window. Now you can use the window handle to wind the window past the stop point, and it will be off the track, and can be turned 90 degrees and worked out of the door slot, and handled to replace the window glass, or whatever you want to do.This is more easily done if the guides are removed from the door before trying to remove the window. They can be removed with a screwdriver working them out of the door, on each side of the door slot. You should do your window work before installing new window anti-rattle pieces
Pretty easy, but don't force anything, just work slowly. And, remember to replace the nut and bolt back into the gear mechanism, or sometime you'll roll the finished window right off of the guides, thereby requiring you to remove the access panel, and putting it back together.
That's all there is to it.
