Raised bedsides

I know that this is stated in some other posts, but what year(s) did BB trucks have the raised bedsides and flat bedsides with square pockets?

Thanks, Ilya

They changed in 1950 the earlier ones had raised bedsides and the later 50 models had the flat sides,a 50 with flat sides is kind of rare though. So 51 and later were all flat sided. Hope this helps you out.

Thanks. I thought that it was the other way around.
