I just got rear glass last night and measured it. It measures from 15" widthwise to 14 1/2" on the curved ends top to bottom. I purchased new inner and outer back cab wall. The inner back cab window mount area measures 15 1/2" while the outer back portion measures right at 15" getting smaller at the outer curves also. My best guess right is that since the inner cab wall sits higher by atleast a half inch so I am going to have to measure very carefully using my new glass when I mate the outer and inner back, Look up shane on this thread. he has a nice stable of BBW and is far more knowledgeable on this subject. Did you buy the complete rear cab assembly new or salvage. I also think that since no two trucks were built the same that's where the challenge lies in getting perfect back glass install.
