Ditto. My first truck had those triangle vent windows you could aim at yourself. I do miss those on the newer stuff.
And the floor vents you could open up. I mean you couldn't carry on a conversation with the wind noise, but they sure moved air around the cab.

I loved those vent windows, as well. And, yes, my '63 Ford Falcon had those floor vents, and they were fantastic.

The biggest thing with the NBS rigs is the transmission. They usually start giving issues at 150k. That's the usual. Is that why he had it serviced? I've heard of guys going over 200k--close to 300k on an original transmission, so it may vary for you. As for the radio just put in a double din touchscreen radio. Hopefully the Bose amp is ok, but if not you could always completely bypass the Bose system. No biggie with that.
I think he just did it as part of the service interval. As for the radio, that's my plan. When I spoke to him he said something about the antenna and that is why it doesn't work but the shop said $1800 to fix because of the bose. It sounds like they don't have a clue. I bought a Bluetooth tape adapter just in case. It's a long drive from FL to NY without music. I would bring my own BT speaker but I'm flying Monday to DC for work and then Thursday DC to FL to pick up the truck. I don't have the space to pack it.
