Re: Are big window cabs rare compared to small window cabs???
Seems that big window trucks tend to have more factory options on them - they will twice as often have the Custom Cab trim and bright metal vs white steel grille and bumpers, factory Automatic or A/C, tinted glass etc....very few only came with a single cool option like the BBW, so when you stumble onto a big window sticking out of a barn or in a salvage yard, you already know before you walk up to it that its probably going to have other options on it, which lends to desirability too. I have two BBW trucks and one small window and love all old trucks.

Re: Are big window cabs rare compared to small window cabs???
I like 'em all, big and small (window, that is). I like the look of the big window, but I don't like getting the back of my neck scorched. From the driving experience, I actually prefer the small window because it makes the cab feel more cozy. But with a small window, you have to really rely on your mirrors and really be careful backing up.
If the price is right, it really doesn't matter if it's a bit or small window. I'll gladly take either one!

I have three big window trucks and one small. I like the big window better. As far as getting a burned neck the have this stuff called tint it works great!
