my runner hit a tree, need advice/measurements

hey, i have an 88 runner that spun a 180 and hit a tree on the passenger side. the center of the damage is right at the seam of the door and the front fender. allready have fenders to replace it, door is fixable, i just need to pop out the dents. my main concern is the windshield frame.

windshield is FUBAR, so im getting a new one, however the frame (not the trim) is not too great, and i just need to know some measurements so i can pull it properly and place a windshield in properly with no gaps. if anyone could give me top and bottom width measurements of their runners windshield, that'd be greatly appreciated. OR if anyone knows where i can get a model or something that i can use to line up the frame that'd be great too. all the damage is body, nothing electrical (except the antenna) and glass.

i'd post pictures but at this time my phone decided to delete all the pics i have, and the fender's already off.

thanks for reading.

Windshield dimensions will be the same as a pickup. Frame dimensions will be the same as a 4WD Regular Cab: Short Wheel Base.

Below is the link to the 88 4Runner FSM. It's one rather large pdf, 82.80MB, and takes awhile to download. The frame dimensions are in there too.

You bet.

Here's the whole 93 FSM for future reference. It's quicker/easier to use than the other one, and has alot of the same stuff.
