Yes they can be converted to the "non-vent" type. I did this conversion on my 49. I got all the parts I needed (window regulator, front verticle track and the channel that the glass sits in thats conected to the regulator)from an early 46 parts truck I have.
If I recall correctly though....some of the early doors can not be converted to the "vent-type" because they dont have the holes for the verticle track to be relocated closer to the rear of the door. Or is it that some late doors don't have the holes for the "non-vent" set-up? Just make sure you have two sets of four verticle holes to bolt the track into the door with. One towards the front of the door and one just under the back edge of the vent window.
