'67 window question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all, What is the preferred back window in the '67's?

I have mixed feelings on it. Being a little clausterphobic, I like the openness of the big window. I do like the looks of the small window a little better, though.

What do you all think?

Thanks, Dan

small window 110%. ever had someone with bright lights following you? you can hide out in that corner. small looks cooler. I read that the designer of our trucks prefers the small window too cause it fits in better with the overall design..

have you tried to merge on the freeway with a small back window??? huge blind spot

shortymac83 · 02-01-2005, 02:12 AM

yeah, I have. that's why I have side mirrors. If I really have to, I just turn around and look. it's a whole lot better than the teeny window in the Olds. YOu guys might think it's big, but the huge B pillars block everything, and it's 3" above the decklid, so you can't see any of the back of the car. backing up is a guess every time. with the truck, the rear window is right there, not 6 feet away.

Ditto.

I have one of each though,and have you seen the back window in a 49

The one in a 67 is a picture window

I like the small back window.....on a stepside. I think the small back window fits the look of a stepside perfectly 'cause it "matches" the bed. I think a fleetside should have a big back window. My 67 step has the small back and I've put a lot of miles on it, no problems merging 'cause I have mirrors

It's also cool 'cause it's unique to '67 only. Along with no sidemarkers and the sloped hood....the 67's are on sweet lookin truck.
