Sorry Steve, I don't have a clue! I have a '55 and Brothers makes a kit
to make them one piece windows .. I know some of the earlier trucks had
one piece and some had vent windows .. I don't know if you can take the
windows and hardware out and put them in another door, or if you just
have to swap doors completely!
