B2/B3-108 - Differences between 1949 bed side panels and 1951 bed side panels

[bkahler]

What differences are there (if any) between the bed side panels from a 49 truck, compared to a 51 truck?  Thanks to Los, I have a possible line on buying a replacement panel for my warped drivers side panel.  Are there any structural differences? Hole placement differences, or anything else worth mentioning?

 

I'm guessing they were the same, but I don't have my parts books handy to know for sure.

 

Thanks,

 

Brad

Thanks Bill, that answers my question.  There are no differences.

 

Now to figure out if I should buy the panel....
