Re: roll cage question?
You'll just have to get a glass shop to cut out the holes in the glass where those tube go through and put a seal them. I guess you'll need the rollcage in the cab first so you can get a measurement of where they need to cut the glass, then weld it together from the inside.
I don't understand why even putting a rollcage in a street car/truck anyway

Re: roll cage question?
Since the rear is flat you can have a back glass custom made. Make a template with the cut out you need and take it to a glass shop. They can cut flat glass and have it tempered. The rear doesn't require laminated glass, just tempered.
