I always appreciate a well done truck and it's certainly not the fault of someone today for GM's design, but to build one??

If I thought I wanted something unique, though, I might consider finding a good artist to paint something on the back of the cab resembling a window that you can "see through." With the truck looking so original it might be neat if people looking from the back saw a glimpse of a driver or passenger in period correct clothes and several vintage cars parked on the street in front.

That's a really interesting idea! The more input I get the more I realize the 2 extra Windows do look like an afterthought. I still love a nice 5 window, but you all are helping me appreciate a 3 window even more.
