Yes. The big back window cabs seem to be more popular for some reason while there were lots more of the small window made. I think this carries over into
'67 also, by 68 or so there was no more small back window.

Looks like it's coming back together nicely. What are your plans for the hole in the roof? Same donor?

Yeah i think they stopped with the small window mid 67.

Thanks!I came up short on the donor piece so ill have to make a filler piece.I was afraid of this.That's why i wanted to do this repair here.The boss has all the metal shaping tools.I have to finish all the metal work on the roof and put the windshield in tomorrow.

Looks like quite a bit to me. Good work.

Thanks!I'm hoping i can get the glass in tomorrow.I need to finish welding those patches in then grind and some filler.It will be so nice to be able to open this door without it falling off.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...

Don't believe I've ever seen one. Looking forward to seeing how it looks.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...

It looks really good!

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...

Thanks.I think it looks meaner with the visor on it.I was thinking i want to make a mold of it so i can make 2 new ones. one for the burb and one for the truck.
