1947-1953 vs 1954-1955 1/2 Truck Bed Differances

[HUSSEY]

I have a 49 Chevy truck I'm working on which I bought without a bed. I've picked up some bed components at a good price. I have the enought to build one decent bed.

The components I have all come for the trucks with the slanted bed rails. I just recently saw one on CL with the flat bed rails. From my research these came on the 1954-1955 1/2 trucks.

Will one of these beds go on a 1947-1953 truck? I though maybe the filler pieces for the running boards may be different.
