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

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

Step-side yes, fleet-side no.

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? :D |

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. |

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

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

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

|
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
I dont have one but would grab one up in a heartbeat.
I like them, plus no marker lights is cool too. |
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
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.

Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
I love the small window, but if I found a true 67 big window for the right price, I would jump on it...

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

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! Don |

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. |
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
love the 67 small windows. it just looks right.
|
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
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.

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

Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
I like the small windows..
|
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
I dont like small windows, maybe because i dont have a pass side mirror.

Don't love it.
It must have started with me at the '55-'59 trucks, with either the little back window, or the massive, dominant wrap around back window. Much preferred. The small window on a '67 is a good look, but just a little less so than the large window. |
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
Bigger is always Better!!! LOL Love the big glasss window
|
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
A 67 is the only truck year of the 67-72's that I own & will drive ;)
I like the Panoramic View optioned trucks too, but that is because they were odd Cept for maybe a 71 4x4 :rolleyes: |
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
Dont really like the small back window.
|
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
My first real truck was a 67 longbed fleetside with the small back window. It had every bell and whistle that a 67 could have. I really liked the small window because we lived in Central Texas at the time and it helped keep the sun off the back of my neck going down the road. I think it got the worse gas mileage of any vehicle I ever owned though.

Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
Don't like them at all. It looks too small back there...:(

Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
I like the fact of the one year only thing, but I like the big window better myself.

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

Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
I'd take the small window over the big window any day.:metal:

I know it isn't the intent of your post but I wish you had added another selection cuz I like them both....:) LockDoc |
Re: OK 1967 smal back window do you LOVE IT ! or DON'T LOVE IT !
I agree with the concept that all the 68 to 72 trucks will take care of those folks who want the big back window. I much prefer the small window. The visibilty issue reminds me of the 1963 Corvette I used to have. Everyone calls them the "split window coupe", as it has the bar down the center of the back window. They eliminated it in 1964 because the visiblity out the back of the 63's was really bad. To me, the small back window is like the split window. The form is too cool to worry about the function. Besides, that is why trucks have mirrors.

I think the 67 short stepside was the best looking truck ever! Just my .02:chevy:
