I’m not sure that will confirm anything because My truck, a ‘52 3100 came with 47-51 striker plates. It closed, wasn’t really secure so I changed them out with the correct ones.

It’s my understanding that that in order to change a ‘52 to an earlier door, the “B” pillar needs the section where the latch sits to be grafted in in order for it to latch properly.
