Did 60-66 Chevys have either of these two options? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sliding rear window
&
Tilt steering wheel

Hey guys just wondering if either of these two were offered as factory options on these trucks?

No, not from the factory or dealer.

Thanks
I didn't think so. I have been thru a few pic threads and didn't see anything so I figured this was the case

Comfort tilt steering was only available on passenger cars in 63.

Dealer Sliding Rear Window installed but not from the factory, only for standard cab. Panoramic cabs did not have the option.
Another source for dealerships was the Silver Book. This was for someone seeking utilitarian type stuff for their trucks.

Barber Glass was one supplier that also made a Sliding Rear Window for Standard and Panoramic Cabs.
I puchased one from them before they disappeared.

Young Windows is still in business.

Interesting how GMC had a different part number than Chevrolet for the same part. Usually GMC would use the Chevrolet part number.

When I as a kid our family had a 63 GMC with camper. The truck had a slider and so did the camper. We could open both and annoy our parents on trips.
