Windshield Opening Vertical Dimensions

Windshield Opening Vertical Dimensions?

When found, my truck had a broken windshield and a lot of rust above the windshield on both the inner and outer roof panels. I'm working to repair that rust with some parts cut from a donor roof. Just to be sure that my old roof had not "sagged" in the rust weakened area, I'd like to check the vertical dimension of the windshield opening.

I'm interested in the distance between the top windshield gasket flange and the bottom windshield gasket flange. The dimension at the center would be good, and maybe one foot on either side of center if there is any taper in this area.

I did a forum search and could not find these dimensions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

sure here you go

center tip of pinchweld flange to flange 18 7/16"

lower body seam at pinchweld straight up 17 5/8"

here is a picture, my measurements are straight up no angled to the upper corner like my diagram.
