Re: Medium Rear Window?
Mid 60's F100's have a "medium" sized window as standard and they look good. My gripe with the small window or a medium window is that Chevy styled and stamped the cab shape with a raised perimeter for the big window design, then the small window is inside that with another raised stamping around that window. It just looks strange to have the raised stamping and pinchweld for the big window and blank space between that and the small window. The back of the F100 cab looks better as a smaller window because it only has one stamping for the window. Small window '67 C10s are the same way, only has one design stamped in.
Maybe it's because I grew up in my dad's glass shop, but it reminds me of the cheaply made aftermarket conversion van windows that were slapped into a panel van body that has a recessed stamping in the shape of the window that would've been there, but the aftermarket window is a smaller generic shape.
