AFAIK the main difference will be in the cab mounts. Plus 2 more years of rust!  The 48 would have used a 3-point,whereas the 50 4-point mounts. I'm sure somebody will be along soon to confirm this and any other subtle differences.

I like my lever action shocks on the 48 and need some pieces. I was wondering what years to search.
Thanks again
