I'm just not sure when the first year for wind wing windows was.
I will be listing the door for sale on ebay and want to list the correct years.

Does it have the full glass in it? | | | | | Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 | No glass. and no place for a vent window.
So is that 47 to 50 then? 51 up had a vent wing? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | Some pictures would help us help you but yes it is likely a 47-50 door. It is also possible it could be 51-54 in that the vent window assembly can be removed from the door. Check for modifications to the metal work along the top near where the back of the vent window would go. The vent window doors were pinched down to meet the vent window assembly in that area. Another indicator is the window regulator, 47-50 had a scissors type arrangement and the newer doors had a single arm type regulator. | | | | | Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 | | | | | | Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | Push button door handles were '52 to '55 1st. You need to look harder for evidence the wing window was removed.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2010 Posts: 132 | good call on the handles. I forgot to check that, too. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 95 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 95 | Scot,
If you look at how the fastener holes and where the rubber stops it had wing glass and was robbed.Also good info that with the wing glass removed the inner front channel is in there and can be used without for a 47-49 truck but you would have to get different regulators door handles and interior ring.
