Jim, along with the change in the shape of the pocket sides, the third series bed also went to a flat top on the bed sides rather than the angled flare of the first and second series. I am not familiar enough with the second and third series to know if any other changes took place between the two.

As an additional note, it has been said that the design of the tailgate changed to that of a series two late in the run of the first series "four pocket bed". (i.e.: the tailgate changed at sometime before the bed changed in 1951.) All of the first series beds that I have seen with the newer tailgates appeared as if they had been owner altered. I have never seen one that appeared to be original so I can not confirm this as fact.
