67's back glass?

I am new to the classic truck world as proud owner of a 1967 short bed stepside. During my studies of this year i have noticed that some have small back glass(as mine does) and some have big?

Re: 67's back glass?

small back glass was standard on 67 trucks, the large back glass in 67 was an option it is often reffered to as panoramic cab or view. In 68 the small back glass was discontinued, therefor 68-72 cabs only came in large back glass.

Re: 67's back glass?

'67 was the first year of this type truck,yet the last year of a decades old tradition of offering a rear window option that began with he Advance Design series corner windows,then the Task Master curved glass full window,and on threw '67. This is one thing that makes '67s stand out as a link to the past traditions of GM trucks
