Sure will. All 48-52 will interchange. Only oddity is the 48 which has a skin 1/4" shorter than the rest, but will still bolt up and function the same.

Wind wing latch is slightly different too. The 48-50 latch doesn't have the push button lock on it. But they can be installed.

I used the 52 doors for that reason...wind wing latch ***** and locking drivers door, plus the doors have the chromed divider supports. It's not going to be an original truck. The tail lights came off a 56, the PO had a strange mixture of parts on this truck so rather than hunt around for all kinds of parts I'll just go with the flow.

You got the doors from a 5 Star Extra (Deluxe) Cab truck. Door lock on driver's door, interior two-tone upholstery, arm rests, chrome division bars and vent window frames were the "Extra" options.
