Are the circular air vent generalized on CHEVY and horizontal slide air vent generalized on FORD?
Hello Serge,

Seeing the picture, I now understand the question you sent by e-mail. I have no explanation why a Ford cab would have circular air vents instead of the slotted ones they left the factory with. I guess possible explanations are:
1) when the truck was manufactured, there was a temporary shortage of cab parts and a Chevrolet radiator surround was fitted.
2) this F60H was damaged and a Chevrolet radiator surround was used to repair it;
Here's hoping someone comes up with a better explanation!

Regards,
Hanno
