47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
I've heard from alot of people that the 5 windows are better to get because they are more "desirable" but I like the 3 window. So what do you like?

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
Reading your other thread, I was thinking a poll would be a great idea. I was thinking a 3 or 5 window poll was already done a while back, but I couldn't find it.
and, again....I'm a 3 window guy all the way.

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
I didn't vote because I like them both. For a hopped up streetrod truck---I like the 3 window. For a more stock or elegant truck---I like the 5 window. I will say though, that the corner windows on the 5 window cab are pretty much useless. My dad bought my twin brother and me a 51 5 window shortbed Chevy when we were 14---We still have it---we are now 45. I also have a 54 5 window Chevy that I am still working on.

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
That is a real tough one !!!!!
So I bought one of each !! If you drive in traffic you will love the 5 window. I think the 3 window has a bit more of Hot Rod appeal, but not much!

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
I keep hearing that five windows are more rare.Maybe when they were new production.These days I see far more Five window trucks in mags and at shows.My vote is for the three window.Looks older,looks more rodder and the five windows glass is funny looking.

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
I like the 5 window a little better, however the 3 window looks better to me as a drag truck. Either way, you can't lose.

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
I like them both but I'm partial to the 3 window alittle more because that's what mine is.

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
I'm a 3 window guy, but 5 window is better if you have to back up a trailer a lot.

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
I've always liked the five window myself. The '49 I used to have had deer etched in the corner glass. It was definately an attention getter.

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
3 window for me, it keeps the rounded lines better.

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
Have many of both. But have always liked the look of a 3 window better. Even though I do look out of my corner windows alot when driving my 54.

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
My preference runs towards the three window as I have mine chopped. I don't really think the five window trucks look good chopped.
The five windows were the "Deluxe" cabs and usually had a few more goodies from the factory while the three windows were the base cab and were often pretty basic as far as equipment goes from the factory. I learned to drive in a 54 five window with a hydromatic. two tone teal green and white and probably right at the top of the line as far as 54 trucks went. I wish I had it to restore today. For a hotrod or custom truck I don't think it matters that much but If I were to restore a truck to showroom stock I'd want to start with a five window. |

Re: 47-54 AD 5 or 3 window
I have to say that I like both, I have a 52 5 window and a 54 3 window at my moms in New Mexico. I should be picking them up sometime this summer when I move to Kansas
