The 5 window was introduced in 1947 and were made to the 1955 First series. Generally, they are considered more desireable as they are almost always equipped as the top line model, usually 1/2 ton.

I would agree that in general they are more desireable. But I wouldn't say they are any better. Personally, I think the 3 windows look better if you're hot rodding a 3100.

I have had two '54's, a Chevy and a GMC, both 5 windows. The 5 windows are called "deluxe cab", so I would guess they cost more when new and were considered better looking. My personal preference is the 5 w's., but as OKSoda said, when hot rodded (I guess chopped) the 3 w's look pretty good.
