You can also tilt the "A" pillar of the cab back and the "A' pillar of the roof foreward so you won't have to splice a piece in the roof. You will need to do the same with the doors. It will give it a more aggressive look.

Would you do that by cutting a "V" notch at the base of the pillars? Seems like that would be easier than adding a piece to the roof.

Yes, or I've seen them cut a slit lengthwise in front of the windshield on top of the cowl.
