If you live in a warm climate with no a/c they're real nice.

Sliding windows are made for function,same as trucks. It's not about looks. The trucks that "look" good with them also look good with other true truck accessories that a slick little shortbed may not. Things like functional mirrors,cab lights,cargo hold downs,auxiliary tank doors,bed rails,step bumper,bumper guards,grille guard,bedside steps,winch,tow hitch,etc. The modern sliding windows are a nice compromise in looks when doing privacy tint on the back window,since they have a black frame.
My '72 K2500 has a factory slider,camper mirrors,Bartens bumper,fuel doors,and cargo hooks. I think those things set it off for what it is and always was. I replaced the original with another that has a Harley Davidson decal on it from this era. I'm an attention to detail type and I like extra stuff as much as less is more. It's all about the overall result.

I had one and couldn't stand to use it because it was like a vacuum sucking up crap from the bed into the cab. The only way I would use one again is if I didn't have A/C and the bed had a cover on it.
