Big window short bed?
Hello -- new member here searching for a truck.
I am wondering how "desirable" the big window version of these trucks are.
I have never seen one in person and looking only at photos it seems the side profile of the rear cab isn't as "nice" as the rounded version of the small window. Looks kind of squared off a bit to me. Is this as evident in person or just what the photos make it look?
Is there any idea how many sort bed - big windows were made?
Are there any leak/rust issues because of the way the window & trim piece fits?
many thanks
Steve

I bought the truck and it's on it's way to me now via auto transporter.
'63 Short Bed, Custom Cab, Big Window complete with all the bright trim and the trim strip down both sides. 351 Windsor and Auto installed with a sub framed front end.
I did have it inspected by a hot rod shop. Zero rust. The guy told me it was the nicest one he's seen in a long time.
Can't wait to finally see this in person. Fingers crossed.

Built in Kansas City and spent most it's life in San Antonio. Home spun frame off restoration about 10 years old.
Great bones for a mild-custom. I hope the paint is still good enough so I can concentrate on the interior.

I own a ragoon red '63 unibody shortbox like yours, except, mine doesn't have all the trim or the BBW.
