Why is he wanting to go back to vents? What kit did he use? I am also interested in doing this swap so it would be very informative to know why he isn't happy with the one piece.

Thanks

my kit was a brothers kit,these things look cool,but unless you have a really nice a/c unit,they dont move anywhere near the air in that cab that the vents do,and i hate being hot,but i sent you some opics of what it looked klike before,i hope this helps,i know early classics has a kit and i think classic heartbeat does as well

from Central Texas.

Brothers has the kit on sale right now. I put this setup on mine and it wasn't too bad of an install. The truck is not on the road yet so I can't say how they will perform in real life but I really like the looks of it.

What's the sale price? How is it to do business with them., I've heard mixed reviews...

Also, is it possible to have power 1pc windows? I heard you can do it with the wing window setup, but it's hard or impossible to do it with the 1pc.

No problem for me. Just ordered and they came in the mail. Check their website but I think they are about $280. Yes you can power them but I didn't.
