I really like the idea of having the vent for air flow. Since there will be no air conditioning any air movement is good here in Missouri. As far as 'correct' I'm not that concerned about that. This will never be a show truck. I'll try welding it on, and if it doesn't work I'll see about modifying it.
Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. I'll let you know how it works out (although it will likely be several months before I am to the point in restoration where I will know).

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
