Re: Big back window
Pardon my lack of experience but what do you mean when you say "brace the cab"?

Re: Big back window
Since it appears that the cab is not mounted to the frame, and if you remove the firewall (a significant component to the structural integrity of the cab), it would be good idea to brace the cab before cutting out the firewall to keep it square while you cut, grind, hammer, weld, etc. Even if it was mounted to the frame, I would still tack weld in a few diagonal braces similar to this from a member on this forum:
