switch cabs?

My 70 GMC has the molded in roof lights, which I think look cool, but don't really go with the bagged, lowered and shaved look I'm going for. I just picked up the 70 Chevy 4x4, which doesn't have the cab lights. My question is, do you guys think I should swap cabs and put the "lights" cab on the 4x4 or do you think the GMC would look good with the cab lights, even though I'm shaving the side marker lights? I understand I'll have some tranny tunnel issues, but I'm not to concerned with that.

Re: switch cabs?

I say if the cab with the lights is in good shape, weld the holes up and keep it.

If you are pulling everything out of the cab with the lights anyway, then swapping the cabs isn't that much more work.
