Default Door window swap?

OK! Soo... I'll be honest here I don't really like the window vents on my 68... It just... I donno... Don't like em really. So my question is! *Among all the other stuff I have to do to my car* If I remove the window vent assembly and get the hardware stuff for it *Bolts rails so forth* Can I put a 69 window in my door?

Thanks!

And I just wanted to say. Thanks for helping me with all my questions and random comments. I know I ask a lot of stuff! so THANKS!

The tracks might work but the glass won't its curve even the window opening are way off.And 69 had glued in windows most rather have a 70 the glass bolts in like a normal car.In short only way to get a one piece window is have a track system made and custom glass cut to fit your car.And that will cost some money so do like the rest of use get use to a wing window lol.

Sadly I know all about that. Just another crazy sound my car makes.

Vent wings are one of the things I like most about classics! I'm not a smoker anymore, but when I was I cussed the first car I had without them. I like having some ventilation without it blowing around what's left of my hair.

I love and hate wing windows they are great for a smoker and in the rain or just want a little air.down side you can hear the wind at high speed and they can leak and real easy to break in the car with a screwdriver.Just wait they are making one piece windows for a lot of cars slowly now i have a set on my 84 chevy truck.
