The tailgate windows have the same (extra) space behind them making the thickness of the tailgates bulge out or taper in for the glass to lift straight from the groove.

I suppose I could modify the back of the cab slightly for the necessary angle. Not sure I want to hack up my roof though.
This is a tough call since I really like the idea. Just don't know if it's practical for this truck body.

Question:
Do the side markers fit the same front to back? In other words, can I take a front, side marker and use it in the rear instead?

Question:
What's the best way to remove rust from the metal panels that make up the roof? I know I must have rust in there. Is there a gel or spray that dissolves the rust? Really.
Read my post on Muratic Acid, You need to be able to flush it out real well with water so how it will work with roof problems i'm not too sure but i'd think you would wanna gut the interior in the process, just remember this stuff is super nasty stuff both in vapors and to the skin.
