1960 Chevy Bigwindow Shortwide - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JRB · 11-15-2005, 12:08 PM

I just purchaces a 1960 Chevy Bigwindow Shortwide. I am curently restoring a 1964 Shortwide, 1963 Shortwide and a 1956 Big Window Stepside Shortbed. I have way to many projects, or at least that is what my wife is telling me. Does anyone know how much the 1960 bigwindow cab is worth. This is the first Bigwindow I have seen in the 60-66 body style. I have the hood and the parklights assembly and the grill. All of these parts are rust free and no dents. The only part that has rust is the hood and it is on the side near the back of the hood. Also is the tortion bar suspention more sought after than the coil spring suspention on the early 60's suspention?

Thanks

Bruce

Holy... I need to come check your trucks out. I'm in Hillsboro. The custom cabs are not that rare but deffinately worth more. The torsion bar setup is not very desirable, but some purists might want them. Most people want to stay away from them and even convert to coil spring.

JRB, the bigwindow you're referring to is called a wrap-around windshield. I'm not sure when Chevy started using them but in 1963 was the last year it was used. In 1964 Chevy started using the traditional windshields.

I think he's talking about the Big Back Windows

It`s called a "Panoramic" rear window and looks great!
