how about running the top hoop all the way up against the ceiling, and bring the braces up to meet the top hoop through the sheet metal just above the window? I'm not sure if there is enough to work with, but this keeps your glass....

Nick-
keeping the glass isn't my main concern, it's having a big *** barr stick out of the back of the cab.

I may have to do that, but a cutom one runs like $600.00 just to make it, and I still have to install it. I was just hoping to find an off the shelf that I could install for around 3 to 4 hundy

Do the top bars have to com straight back, or could they cross and exit under the window? Or enter down low then go up?

well, in theory, the rear bars could probably do just that. however, with the main hoop being about 8 inches from the back of the cab, the angle from the top of the bar, to the bottom, intersecting just below the window is going to make it almost straight up and down. Now there is NO regulation that I could find on the angle of them, so I may be able to get away with it.

I guess I'm going to have to have one made. I've searched every where and no luck. I have a guy local that can just do the whole damn thing for me I guess. Oh well.
