Re: while im thinking about it
My '54 had "wind wings" and I too wanted a 1 piece look. I found it was easier to switch to a '47-'50 style that came that way from the factory. Your stock window won't have the internal tracks to glide up and down the correct way. Don't get me wrong, it can be done, but if you haven't done any body work to your doors, look for some older style ones with out the wind wings. I also liked the crank handles of the older ones. '54 doors had different "push button" handles. I hope this helps.

Re: while im thinking about it
Im not even sure if I have them, I got the truck as a body on frame and boxes full of parts. So I will look and find out, if I do have them and get rid of them you'll be first on the list...

Re: while im thinking about it
I can prolly get doors at a swap meet soon. Hopefully trade my doors for ones in equal(perfect) shape but without the vent...
