Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !

Small windows just look "right" with a stepside bed.

Fleets look better with the big window.

I have a 67 small window. I drive my truck a lot. I HATE merging/changing lanes with the small window.

Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !

I have an article where the small back window was designed to give a "coupe" feel for the truck and it design was argued about the cut of the glass or something because it cost more. I dig 67's.

Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !

Even though I drive a 70 big window daily....I'd love to have a 67 small window longbed to replace it. I have a 67 small window stepper that I plan to build someday.

I prefer the small window...I think like the Italian in The Gumball Rally....'what's behind me is not important'. 'Cept for those pesky ass tailgaters anyway!!

Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !

My personal prefernece would be a big window vs. a small window, but I wouldn't turn a small window away.

Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !

I have a 67 small window,long stepside.I am going to put my front clip on a 72 big window fleetside. Gonna whack the bed and make it a short bed.
Reasons; I wanna look over my shoulder and see what's on the right of me.
Use my mirrors? Mirrors are for BIG trucks,not for 1/2 tons. I have 2-57's and 1-56 1/2 ton pick-ups. THEY look great with small windows. I think that the small back window looks too much like a work truck on the 67. I wish that I had a 67 short fleetside big window that I could trade for but I don't ,so I have to start carving.
I agree with GLOCK35,,small window looks out of proportion.-Keith
