I do not believe so. I think you would have to swap cabs.

Gotta agree^^^

I wanted a big window before I knew about 67 as the only year for small windows. Now I wouldn't trade it for anything.

thats like asking what front end is more desirable, it all depends on who you ask...go with what you prefer and dont worry about what everyone else likes

Re: is a small back window more desireable than a big back window ?

For the most part it's...what do you like. I like both styles but as been said only so many small windows were made and that was only for 67

Re: is a small back window more desireable than a big back window ?

I prefer the big back window as well....more visibility, makes more sense

Oddly enough though I have always lusted after a 1963 corvette split window which was eliminated due to visibility issues....so I guess I could learn to love a small back window c10 as well

Re: is a small back window more desireable than a big back window ?

It was on my first one. A 67 (Which is now for sale) I like the look. But I also like my 70 with the big window. It's more about the over all look for me.

Re: is a small back window more desireable than a big back window ?

You need to define "more desireable". Most owners that have them love them. If your talking about resale value then no, they are less sought after.

Re: is a small back window more desireable than a big back window ?

Harry Bentley Bradley was the designer at GM who was the lead guy on these trucks. He said the small back window made him think of a limo. In Tims' pic, the smoothness of the cab as it falls from the top and wraps around from the side are enhanced by the small window, in my opinion. So, as some have said, it depends on the truck. It was only available for the '67 model in the pickup line, but still available on later models in the big stuff (40-50-60 series). Seems that when we had a choice, we wanted the big window. When that choice was taken away, we wanted the small one.

I have a big window. Never wanted a small window.

It depends on the overall look of the truck, as to whether or not it is more desirable. If you question it, you must have doubts about how well you'd like it sitting at your house.

Re: is a small back window more desireable than a big back window ?

well I drive a 1965 3/4 ton and i have a small window Big back windows where special order deluxe cabs got them or the custom cab's.I had nothing but small windows and when your young there cool But when you age and its hard to see the blind spots ya the big windows work But now with all these new head lights that are brighter you can hide in your Man cave lol But for a 1964--66 short bed fleet side and the 1968--72 short bed fleet side Big windows all the way.Trust me trying to Cut that doable wall cab is a lot of work.I had a friend of mine do it to a 1964 and Me i have a 1964 that is a fleet side well i'm swapping cabs cus i have a 66 that is a big window and they just look better.Do a little research on the most Desired truck Chevy ever made was the 1957 big window and That cameo with the most useless bed on earth other then a elcomino.Sorry all I'm just a guy that looks at a truck for the hauling content.Now how cool it looks
