window vent removal

Hey gang,

I was wondering if anyone has attempted to remove the window vent and replace it window a one piece window. Back in my high school days while working on vw bugs, you could swap out a late model window regulator and use that in place for the old one and it was pretty easy to have a clean looking one piece window. Any thoughts?

thanks

naggy, why would you want to remove the vent window? So a nice ford can look like a Chevy? Real trucks have vent windows and unfortunatly Ford stopped that in 1996 and 1999 on 3/4ton +.

Why would you think it would look like a chevy? The idea of removing the vent wing is to make the lines of the truck look oh so cleaner. Never mind what a chevy looks like!!!

haha, I was just joking about the Chevy. Chevy seemed to be one of the first to get rid of the vent wing. Removing the vent wings would be definitely be a trick resto-mod.

Hi naggy!

Not to discourage you but a vent window is pretty darn useful. I guess this is one of those form over function things.
