'47 - '54 Chevy Truck Bed Width?

I apologize for the random question.

Can anyone grab a measurement for me? My bed is completely disassembled.

What is the width of a '47 - '54 bed?

Mine's stock and it's 50" if you put the tape at an angle it's 50 1/2" or so.
I'm talking inner width, not the width that the tires are apart.

I measured my 53 and I measured from the outer lip where he had the arrows. That's what mine is anyway 50 1/2. Hope that's right. It doesn't look to be warped or out of square at all.
