Smart move -- and if you have truck riding buddies they will appreciate it also. Have fun

Keep it stock

Not that my opinion will sway anyone in any way but I am for the stock look. If I wanted to drive a modern / new truck I have my F350. I kept the vent windows, new rubber etc and they still whistle at highway speeds, but I like the nostalgia look. I'm not a fan of AC but then I don't have 90% humidity to deal with.

Either way, your truck, your rules.

Enjoy

If your leaning toward the stock look, you got to keep the vent windows.

Keep the vent windows I think they look much better than the straight glass., I know I will be rebuilding mine unless I go full custom on the rest of the truck (I really doubt if I'll be doing that)

I love my vent windows, even though I already have A/C. Which is good, because with our trucks (53-55, Mine's a '54) you have to either cut and weld the doors a bunch or install that bent one piece glass, which can be almost as much work!
