47-51 vs 52-54 door handle/latch question

[rtinniste]

Okay so here's the situation
Originally I bought a complete 1951 3100, cab ended up having alot of bondo and fiberglass. So I picked up a clean rust free 1952 cab cheaper then what I'd have in patch panels for the 51. Cab was gutted no doors etc.

So I went to bolt up the strikers from the 1951 cab onto the new cab and that's when I hit my issue. The strikers are different I know the door handles changed to push button for 52 and up, checked brothers trucks and there is different strikers for 52-54 trucks.

Now my question I have is I don't like the push button handles I want the swing handles will my 51 latches work with the 52 strikers? Or can I use 52 latches with 51 swing handles? Or am I stuck with the push button handles?

Also to save myself future surprise's is there any other changes between 51 and 52 cabs besides the door jamb?
