Re: truck beds
Yes, mid 1950 was the switch. early ones had the steel floor with wood underneath. The sides had stamped raised panels. also had a floor shifter. Late ones had a column shift, smooth bed sides and wood floor. These changes may have happened at different dates. Hard to say after 65 years.

Re: truck beds
serial prefix for both 49 and 50 start with 98RC or 97HC - the only way to tell which year is by the serial number itself.
if you have stampings on the firewall you can figure color, assembly plant and date of assembly |

Re: truck beds
I thought the metal floor vs wood floor was a change made at a different time than the embossed side panels vs. straight bed panels?
