I can dig up a link. This one is fairly detailed http://53truck.ez15loan.com/howto/years.htm

47/48 had the gas tank under the right side of the bed with the filler in the side of the box in front of the fender. 49 and up had the tank in the cab.

51 and up had vent windows and no cowl vent. 52 and 3 had push button door handles.

The lmc free catalogs are very informative. 47 and 48 cabs have different body mounts and door seals, 51 is the only year with vent windows and turn down door handles. I think 51 was also the year they changed the number of boards in the bed, and almost every year has different brakes.
