I would like to put my 54 3/4 ton fenders, hood and doors on my 50 1/2 ton. Will this work? Virg

You'll need to do the grill too.

The door latches wont work right, You need to stay in the groups of 47 to 50 ....51 to 54. Even then 54 had some minor door differances.

You could swap the doors, but you need to change the latches, too. Or use those Bear Claw latches. I've seen guys do that swap, but in reverse. They'll put the earlier doors on the later trucks to eliminate the vent window, mainly to try to pass off a '51-'53 as a '47/'48 at the hot rod shows.
