64 cab question

are the rear panels on these trucks suppose to bow in from the sides of the cab? the truck im doing was hacked together and im trying to make it right and im curious if the cab is tweaked or not. I took a few pics to show what im talking about. I don't have the steadiest hand so the pics are a little blurry. the last pic is about a little more than 1/4in

Re: 64 cab question

Mine does, and no sign of damage at all. Mine is a panoramic cab, so even the back glass is bowed a bit. No one notices but me-I've stripped it, primed it, painted it and installed the rear glass, so I'm kinda familiar w/it. I dunno if it is supposed to, but it does...

Ok. I kinda think its suppose to be like that given that both sides are like that but given the shape my truck is in I just wanted to ask

Re: 64 cab question

I just looked at my totally undamaged orig paint 62. Under the window and level with the top of the box it is dead flat straight across. Down at the bottom of the cab however, it does appear to bow in on either side. Hard to say just how much with the box in place.
