I'm not positive, but I think the doors are different enough that the inside latch isn't a bolt in swap. Your current doors also have the key lock which later doors don't have. My suggestion would be to get some used '51 on up latches and a handle and see what fits and what doesn't and go from there.

I know that you can put complete doors from later years onto earlier cabs, but you still need to change out the latch on the cab post.

Hope this helps.
