I am leaning more to some thing in between, even though twice the work. Might split to top half down the middle and tack in all the extra needed. If I like it than fully weld it in. If not, reduce the infill and add a bit each side. Some times seeing it in the flesh is the only way.

My two cents, I like the Look of the smaller window itself for height and width but think the width of the wider one is in keeping with the increased size of the cab, but can you also increase its depth down towards the tray to give it a more balanced look. If that makes sense.

I'm impressed that your photoshopping skills appear to be just as good as your metal working skills!

As for the window, I like the look of the last one the most (window proportionally bigger) but if it were me doing it would probably settle for the third one with the full 9in wider window due to the extra work required just for a few inches smaller window, besides would make it easier to drive as a daily with the extra vision out the back.

If it were intended to be a show vehicle then the proportionally bigger window would prob be the most accepted.
