Air conditioning vent preference

[Speedracer39]

I just ordered vintage air from MCB and it includes the vents for both sides of the dash but I see others use the stock looking vents and was wondering if it’s just for a matter of looks or do they rotate to blow air at a better position?

I did it for the looks.

Vintage Air has and sells the OE looking vents. I have Classic Air in my truck same system different company. I got the OE vents from them. Heres a link for the Vintage Air ones.

Since my dash did not have AC, I went with the vintage air side vents in my 67 build rather than the factory style.
To me, the factory ones look too "added on" as they are big and bulking looking. Almost as if the were an afterthought when GM decided they would offer AC in these trucks....just my opinion.....
I have two trucks with the factory style and I'm OK with them as is...
The center vent is fine

I used the vents that came in the kit as well originally. But I wanted a more stock look so I switch to the oe looking vents. What I couldnt get over was the difference in the amount of air they move versus the small ones that comes in the kit. My wife and I could tell a huge difference on a road trip this year from last year on the same trip. I think the oe system moved most of its air thru those vents. JMO

Good to know...I have two spare sets of the factory parts...just in case...

I went with the factory style vents in Chrome / black . I picked up a cheap used set off the board and sacrificed them to use as a perfect pattern for cutting the dash . the supplied vents just looked too generic for me . Counterpart brand.

Thanks for the info you just made up my mind for me hearing that the factory ones made a difference in air flow.
