I can tell you that back in 1965 I know that the big window was "way" more popular than the small window ..Because I bought a brand new one with the big back window and got praise for it by all who rode and looked at my truck ,,but now its unique and more people want them, I like them in the step side trucks but not as much in the fleet side.
just my opinion papa

I have a '67 CST big-winder LWB and a '67 GMC small-winder SWB. Real-world, seat of the pants driveability goes to the big window cab. Uniqueness and seperation from the "herd" is definately the realm of the small window. I like them both and will drive both, but the small glass cab does get me a few more "thumbs up".

Small windows are great, because they are so distinctive - you can recognize them right away. Hard to tell the difference in the '69, '70's and the '71 and '72's.

I don't mind them, but I voted "don't love it". They just make the cab look out of proportion with all that extra metal around the window compared to the large side windows and large front window. I would pass one up just to get the large window. Would be OK in a 50's truck though.

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.

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.

Like I said in your earlier post - Big for little (C10, C20) and little for Big (C50)!

The 67 small window is the one for me!!!

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!!

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

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
