Bbw vs sbw

[Leadfoot Lambert]

Am I the only one who likes the small back window better than the big? Just wondering

[samuellg1977]

You are not alone, my friend!! That is one of my favorite things about my truck.

I like the small back window on my C10 because it allows me to add yet another Factory Accessory to my truck ( Rear Sliding Cab Window ).

I'd like to have the Full View Rear Window (FVRW ) for better vision while plowing snow with my K10! You could order a Rear Sliding Cab Window for the Full View through your truck dealer from Barbers Auto Glass in the Truck Silver Book.

even if the BBW trucks are more popular, i still love my small back window.

Yep, the small window trucks were more numerous in California. The large rear window just made the interior a greenhouse most of the year.

Having put some miles on my '66 lately I can confirm this!! I'm considering tinting the back window as you can cook with the sun coming in the back combined with the vinyl seat.......swamp butt!!

As protrash said tint the window I did, ( 20 % ) just makes it easier to see the cops coming up from behind

i have a bbw short bed gmc and i think the bbw look better. if you look at the back of the small window cab it is made for the big window. to me it looks like they decided to be cheap and just put a small window in it. the 55-57 chevy trucks are the same way. but if a 63-66 truck came along that was really nice i would't care if it was a small window i just like these trucks

Let's you put one in the chamber with out being notice:>

Small back window for the win!

...that said everytime I see BBW I laugh, my first thought is never big back window

SBW hides the bald spot on the back of my head! Didn't know that you could get a slider for it either. Where do you find those?

BBW's need some loving too!

[sigshooter]

my vote is for BBW's .... they simply give you more to look at

[cb1965]

Both my trucks are small window and both California trucks out of Fremont

[collins10672]

while the bbw's are more sought after and popular i am a small rear window man myself.i have never owned a bbw yet.

[krazy_texan]

i love my little window on my truck. I think the big windows are sought after more by collectors usually with alot of money and not much brains to us enthusiasts we just like the truck period and everything about it

[losthope]

I Love the Small window,But i also prefer long bed's I think they look better slammed . But i do think a big window looks better on a short bed, guess im just weird ,but on the bright side i get my small window longbeds for dirt cheap compared to big window short beds.!!

[TheDark1]

Yup, I dig the small window!!

[LostMy65]

I've always thought the big back window makes the truck look more modern.
Same with the fleetsides.

I think the small back window along with the stepside just makes the truck look more classic. - That's just me.

[markeb01]

The big window is rare, which makes it highly desirable to collectors and those that prefer the style. Considering the majority of 60-66 trucks came with the small window cab, it would seem the small window was in fact more popular at least with original owners.

I appreciate that others love the big window, but the sculptured small window back of cab panel is part of the character I love about these trucks. If my truck had been built with a big window, I wouldn’t have bought it.

Years ago I had a 1983 Chevy truck and detested being roasted during the summer months.

Here's an earlier thread on the topic, with an even earlier thread shown on post # 2.

Well I like both! That being said, I just sold the small window truck because I just bought a bbw Custom cab truck.

I like the small window cuz it keeps the sun off my neck a little, and working outside a lot I can use all the shade I can get. Plus the big windows look a little funny to me......but then again, I prefer a long bed too.....maybe I'm just the weird one.

I'm a big window fan.

Numerous threads on converting from small to big, don't recall seeing one on converting from big to small...

[Wolfinthesnow]

Both my 63 and 64 have the sbw. Could say Im bias because thats all Ive had, but if I had a choice, small back windows ftw!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's because those who like the big window may have a hard time finding a big back window. They have a nice truck and want the big back window. So they do the conversion.

Those who like the small back window have no need to do the conversion from big to small, because there's so many more available. If they want a small back window truck, they just buy a small back window truck. No need to go to effort to convert.
