the small windows in the side of the cab or the rear glass? the side windows are the style that opens but they are going in the 97 and the ones in it are the none opening kind

This is so cool, this reminds me of my 2004 rebuild cause of tree.
You're lucky, because the tree that hit my truck was about 4 times the size of your tree.
I know what you're going through and it's a lot of work.
BTW ... Did that rubber bushing turn on you when you tried to take the cab bolts out?
