Lee,
The F1 thru F6 cabs are the same, and F2 thru F6 fenders, etc. are the same.
Trouble is, the 47 is a different body style - lines are different, fenders are different, in fact I don't know of anything that is the same between the two. It breaks down like this:
42-47 same parts
48-50 same parts
48-52 same cab, different fender/grills
51-52 same parts only trim differences

What does your VIN prefix look like?
47 will be 71GC (6cyl) or 799C (8cyl).
48 will be 87HC (6cyl) or 88RC (8cyl)
49/50 will be 97HC or 98RC respectively
Check out the picture gallery for the differences between the two. The 42-47's have vertical grill bars and on 48-50's they are horizontal.
It's possible someone changed the whole front clip, but it should be obvious in places I think.

The '42-47s had vertical bars, the '48-50s had horizontal. The F series cabs can be told appart by the lack of the side deco-thing that travels down the side of hood and around the cab. Also the '40-41 cabs are the same as the '42-47.
