the only peice of advice i can give you on this subject:
bracethe cab for twisting on all axis. when your done brace it some more. you can never have enough bracing when you chop a top.

ondrew
A brace across ea door opening (front to rear) is all i used, & I had no problems......a little extra bracing falls into the "cant hurt a d@mn thing" tho...... L
