you won't find much for production number breakdowns beyond the number of light, medium, heavy trucks, they didn't keep records back then of options .... in 58 there were about 158,000 trucks built under 6,000 GVW - in 59 there were about 196,000 so you could say 58's were "less common", but really they're equally uncommon, how many of either in your town? in Germany? in Europe?

because the big window was an option it was probably rarer when they were new, but I think more of them have survived because more people prefer them, so based on what's around today, the small window would be rarer ... why not keep both?

hi
thanks for your info . the problem of keeping both is the money to restore them . becurse in germany to restore them it cost me about in dollar 25000.- 30000 . to make a groundup restoration

well then you'll just have to flip a coin to decide which will bring the highest price when/if you decide to sell - or get some opinions from folks around there - maybe you could restore one and sell it to pay for the other, the 2nd one is always easier

Around here the big windows are fewer and more desirable.
