Getting ready to have glass cut for the truck, thinnest laminated i can get is 3/16, any tips for the front or rear, i would like rear to be flush, no trim, but open to suggestions, same on front, the double step leaves me unsure what to do..

Why would you want anything less than standard thickness laminated glass? I think standard is 1/4 inch.

I think with the correct thickness urethane seal (round) you set the glass flush. Most guys who do that buy a bulk roll of S-10 windshield trim to go around the edge to finish it off.

They make lightweight laminated automotive glass that is 1/8" thick but it will cost you north of $1000 and maybe $1500 for a 3 window with wind wings. My 1/4" acoustic glass for my 3 window 53 3100 is about $1000. They haven't given me a final price yet but that is the starting point.
