martin,, something crossed my mind the other day while looking at my 5 window cab, and it would definitely be different. ..what about a cameo style back window in a AD truck...if you had a 5 window cab....of course you'd have to have a custom glass..would be different for sure...not sure how it'd look..

Funny you should suggest this, what I did was enlarge the rear center window so that all the posts are the same width, 4 inches. The top is chopped 3.5 inches and the rear center window is the stock height but wider so the back has sort of the "wrap around" window but kinda similar to the 57 Buick as well.

I like that too - looks good on the truck. I like the thought that went into making the pillars consistent.
