OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT ! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

19673ontree · 12-06-2008, 02:09 PM

I posted another thread and was surprised to read that several said they did not like the 67 small back glass !! I was and still am a little stumped because I thought the 67 with the small back glass was the coolest thing ever !! anyway let's find out !!

PHAT TONY · 12-06-2008, 02:17 PM

In these parts it seperates a '67 from the rest; you can put a '67 clip on any year.....

**KevsClassics** · 12-06-2008, 02:24 PM

I have seen some really nice 67s with small back windows. But I would have to choose big.

au03z71 · 12-06-2008, 02:25 PM

Step-side yes, fleet-side no.

Brad · 12-06-2008, 02:33 PM

Although it was my first truck, I prefer the big windows better. I don't like the way GM left all the sheet metal acreage back there. Also, now that I have a big window truck, I understand why folks liked the better visibility!

Anyone want my '67?

I love it!

jeffspower · 12-06-2008, 03:13 PM

While the big window was an option and not as many of them are around compared to the small window- making it somewhat rare... that doesn't mean it is more desirable. It's a boots or tennis shoes thing.

I wouldn't really want a big window '67 unless it was a highly optioned truck- and even then, I would be asking myself "do I really want it?"

The small window cabs feel cozy with a sense of privacy, and keep the sun off the back of your neck.

The perfect stock appearing '67 would not have the color matched interior either IMO.

big_al_71 · 12-06-2008, 03:22 PM

I like the looks of the small window......

rstewart09 · 12-06-2008, 03:46 PM

I like the one year only part of it, but I also think the big window looks better. Mine is a small window though so I voted for love it.

*project 67 sub* · 12-06-2008, 04:12 PM

i like the small back glass as well

**FleetsidePaul** · 12-06-2008, 04:18 PM

I dont have one but would grab one up in a heartbeat.

I like them, plus no marker lights is cool too.

PanelDeland · 12-06-2008, 04:41 PM

I like the Small window best.In fact if I were to start a PU from scratch i would want to build a 67 small back window stepside with a 6.I would add every accesory I wanted.

**John Fabris** · 12-06-2008, 04:53 PM

I love the small window, but if I found a true 67 big window for the right price, I would jump on it...

i love the small back glass in fact im trying to buy a truck exactly like that

**special-K** · 12-06-2008, 06:08 PM

I love them and since 67 is the only year,there`s 5 other years worth of big windowsfor big window lovers.
That said,I`m scratch building a`67 Fleetside.I wanted all the`67 "Q"s I could get.After alot of looking,then money tightenibg up,I decided to use a big window cab I have.It`s all being built around a`67 clip I had with the "Custom" badges.So,it`ll be a trimmed out`67.I`d take whichever window came in a`67,but would prefer a small window.My rule of thumb is small window Stepside and large window Fleetside.But,I`d still make an exception because small windows are just neat.
It`s a pickup truck thing.Traditionally a truck just had a little window.Then,more glass became an option as trucks started getting more car-like features,until`68 when trucks will always have a big chunk of glass bck there instead of steel.

Richard8971 · 12-06-2008, 06:30 PM

I can understand the extra visibility because having a small back window can suck sometimes! But I wouldn't trade my '67 stepper for anything!

Love it!

Ill give you 2500 for it .... no?

As far as the looks of the 67, I think they look fine. But like what Brad said...Drive a big window truck and then a small window, you feel like you cant see out.

CPNEJR · 12-06-2008, 07:03 PM

love the 67 small windows. it just looks right.

PanelDeland · 12-06-2008, 07:04 PM

On the visiblity thing.All I can say is I have driven pickups with toppers/campers or Panels my whole life.In fact i can barely drive a car because they don't have enough mirror to back with.I always use mirrors to see.

**HOTFUN** · 12-06-2008, 08:32 PM

I agree with some others, on a 67 stepside with no lower mouldings it just plain looks cool but a loaded CST fleetside it has it's own unique 67 looks with the big back glass. And one with a factory 67 two tone you have a one year only paint scheme.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-06-2008, 08:33 PM

I like the small windows..

1971c20 · 12-06-2008, 08:48 PM

I dont like small windows, maybe because i dont have a pass side mirror.
