Sounds fine. There's no difference in the vent windows. It's the doors with the dimple and screw. I helped my buddy build his '68 SWB from the ground up. He used parts from several trucks but it was built to look like a '68. But he insisted on the '72 doors. If you want yours to be correct, that's one thing, but many people prefer the "upgraded" '72 doors.
