Might be pre '51. Can't tell for sure, but it looks like single pane windows in the doors, unless they have been converted.
I think it might be the angle... That I've somehow repeated nearly identically in each picture.

As for the doors... That's interesting you asked that. I asked the same question when I was looking to purchase the truck. It didn't bother me that they were single pane as I wanted to convert that anyway. Apparently the lady that the truck was purchased from originally claimed that when the truck was ordered, being that it was towards the end of the war, GM was running low on supplies and had to send her doors from the previous year model. Now, I'm not entirely sure how accurate that story is but man do I hope it's true. That would be a pretty neat little piece of history with the truck if it were.
