Re: Small back glass or Big back glass?

This is just like all the other comparisons:

Shortbed or longbed?
Stepside or Fleetside?

People are going to vote for what they have and what they've grown to love.

In my opinion, I like them both. I like the bbw for the fact that they are rarer and fancier looking, but I also like the small window because they have more of a "classic" truck look....and that's what mine is...

The big glass improved visibility and looked more stylish but carried a bigger risk of being broken. Since most people back in the fifties and sixties bought trucks to use like trucks and not just transportation that is capable of occasionally hauling something or towing a trailer the small back window was the more popular choice. Well that and it was cheaper. Is that what you guys have heard as well?
True or not true makes complete sense to me.

Is it just me, but doesn't Joe's answer sound like he should be running for office.
His answer has a way of keeping everyone happy:

Ooh and Joe, I really like your sweet ride.
