    It would be easier if I wasn't trying to fit a full size 3rd seat so much extra work to make as much clearance as possible.

    All the pillars are just tacked in, and I cut extra big holes in the floor for the a and b pillars. Basically I'll lower it tilting forward.

    Can't wait to see the finished product. Looks like some tight clearances.

    Thanks man, only reason I left the c pillars so far from the rear on the sides is because the rear window is held in with bolts. So I want to be able to replace the window if it ever breaks

    And I had to leave the cross bar at the top off the rear a bit because I want to keep the 3rd brake light and bed lights. Hence all the bends to keep the 3rd seat as tight to the cab as possible

    Whatever you do, build a slider for that rack if you plan on keeping rear steer r&p. It'll strengthen it up a lot and Ann years to the life of them.
