cutting the roof off shouldn't cause issues with door gaps or anything, the roof doesn't span a distance long enough to add to the strength of the frame. With the body being split in two (cab and bed) right in the middle, all the strength is built into the frame, and the body isn't used.
They sold trucks with no roofs... cowl/chassis models.
