1967 Big Window Custom: New family member - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

briscuba · 09-11-2015, 11:35 AM

I just added a new member to the family... 1967 Big Window Custom SWB. Pretty paint, straight as can be, and runs good (not stock 350). Other modifications done well. Pretty happy with this find.

It's my understanding that the Big Window was an option that year, most came from manufacturer with a small window. I am sure one of you guys knows more about this. Thanks for checking it out!

I'm jealous lol. That is beautiful

67ChevyRedneck · 09-11-2015, 12:11 PM

NICE FIND!

Yes, the small window was "standard" in 1967 with the big window listed as an option. This was dropped for the 1968+ model years and all trucks had the big window.

that is pretty. do some research on here on 67 only stuff. i see you have alot of the 67 only parts still on there. you know were gonna need more pics.

I like how us 67 owners are the first to respond!!

briscuba · 09-11-2015, 12:23 PM

Also... I had a '67 project SWB that sold earlier this year and I regretted it. Funny how things come full circle. I have a '70 CST as well and even though they are generallythe same, there is a "grand canyon" of differences when you know what to look for.

**michael bustamante** · 09-11-2015, 12:25 PM

oh yeah there is. i have a few left over 67 only parts, if you need anything just pm me

EARNHARDT#3 · 09-11-2015, 01:41 PM

That baby is beautiful! I'd have a hard time owning anything other than a '67 now. I really like the little unique differences. I actually like the trucks in order from 67-72...67 being my favorite, 72 my least favorite.

bonehead · 09-11-2015, 01:53 PM

Nice looking truck, but I would like the small windows better.

WarMonger · 09-11-2015, 01:55 PM

great looking truck. Did you take that to the Ventura Nationals last weekend?

briscuba · 09-11-2015, 02:24 PM

I took my Harley to the Ventura show... Easier in traffic, easier to park. Good show though

briscuba · 09-11-2015, 02:31 PM

Someone requested more pics. Couldn't resist... For me it is truly the little things that I appreciate: a 'working' dome light, original 'Custom' badges, and orignal (I think) radio in uncut dash. Works for me..!

Big Kev-O · 09-11-2015, 02:43 PM

What a beauty,perfect just the way it is. I met a few classic car guys out in T.O. that told me to come out for the "Cars & Coffee" gathering at the mall. Have you ever been?

Hi Big Kev,
I have been by... by accident. I plan to go soon, I think it is early Sat. mornings. I have been to several in Simi too, not with this truck... yet!

Xeen · 09-11-2015, 02:57 PM

I was under the impression that A/C was included equipment on a truck with that trim level and actually had to be deleted on purpose to not be installed, if so why would anyone ever do that?
It boggles the mind.

briscuba · 09-11-2015, 03:25 PM

Not sure, had not heard that about A/C. It's definitely not an A/C cab.

**68bowtie** · 09-11-2015, 04:49 PM

beautiful truck!!

darkhorse970 · 09-11-2015, 04:54 PM

This is an awesome truck! Great find!
