That's a high side bed.....they did come with low side beds if ordered that way. The bed rail would be just below the door handle height and without the embossment. The most common bed is the high side. The triple bumper guards are rare, as is a rear bumper. 1950 was the first year for column shifters.The floor shifter was thought to be a problem because of the parking issues. The driver needed to exit the vehicle on the passenger side of most big cities due to traffic, this is why the door lock is only on the passenger side. Sliding side to side on the bench seat, third person in the middle....it just made sense to move the shifter. Typically this era 1/2 ton truck would come with knobby tires on the rear and street tires on the front. Making it a "dual" purpose vehicle since the target buyer was most likely from the country. You guys did a nice job. :)
All 48-53 dodge trucks had the carriage bolt on the bottom rear of the front fender as well as the 2 at the center rear of the front fender. The deluxe cabs had the vent Windows as well the quarter Windows All dodge pickups of these years had running boards rather it had had high sides or low sides
The Dodges with running boards had the tall bed sides, models without running boards had shorter sides.I THINKthe carriage Bolt at bottom of fender is an added thing. It is darn nice, and doing away with the vent windows was smart. They all leaked/whistled.I had a panel version.
