No one mentioned that the 757 and 767 have similar cockpits. They have a similar or same pilot rating. The 767 has to fit into the narrower 757 so the cockpit is one step lower than the rest of the floor of the plane.
Actually shrinking is not as common as stretching because the resulting plane has to carry all the basic weight (same wings and other stuff) as the base model. What shrinkage have we seen? (747SP, a few 707's such as for Qantas, 737-500, A319/318, A310, L1011-500)</font>
I think the 737-500 is the same length as the classic 737.
