I've seen it done a few times, in my opinion its very difficult to do and have look right in the end. I suppose maybe cutting the back off of something with a larger back window and using that might work easier, doing it custom requires a whole lot of thought to maintain the vintage look and feel.
In my personal opinion the small back windows are just as unique to an old truck as large fenders and running boards. Course that doesn't count for anything if you can't see behind you, lol.

yeah, switching cabs would do the trick as Ross mentioned.
And yeah, that back window on the IH is small, lol. One of my IH trucks they cut the rear section out and bondoed a big window in it's place.
(Ross, that cab looks too clean!)

That rear window job looks like it's off the "I Fixed It" site!

Thanks Ross, I now have it bookmarked. Would he happen to be on the oldihc site?
That truck has the same frame I'm trying to create out of box tube, as per the other thread.
