To add to all the conflicting info, I'd add this:
The transmission was designed to use 90W gear oil when it was new. I assume that in rebuilding your transmission, new bearings were used and any parts replaced were old stock otherwise. The only thing that would be of modern manufacture most likely would be the seals and gaskets. Bearings haven't changed much and the seals wouldn't care much, so the gears, synchronizer rings and shift forks are the critical lubrication parts that need what they were designed for.
Given that, I'd go back to 90W gear oil and let it ride. Besides, I'd imagine you aren't going to be driving this truck 50,000 miles a year. Synthetic oil probably won't give you a benefit you'll even notice, and the thinner 40 or 50W oil may show some lubricity problems once its hot.
Just another 2 cents.
