Welcome to FTE! If you have the stock v8, any perch from '48-52 should work, F1-F3.
If you have the new 215 OHV 6, then you'll need to find the specific one for your year, F1-F3, with that engine.
Someone may correct me on this, as I'm going on memory and I'm on some meds.

If you have a V8 flathead and require those perches, I have a set that I took off my 52 when I installed the OHV back in it. The truck came to me with a flathead V8, which wasn't correct for its production. The flathead V8 perches are very hard to find. PM or email me at modelking2000 at hotmail dot com.

I'd think there is no shortage of perches, with all the people cuttin' and hacking on these poor old trucks! Here's a shot that shows how the '52 pieces look, the part the perches bolt/rivet to are much more angled than 48-51. So you for sure need perches off a '52. It really wouldn't be that hard to make some, for that matter.
