Re: 48 chevy section and chop

Thanks for posting that link Ogre, that may have saved me a ton of work that I wouldn't have to do on the firewall. I was going to cut straight across the firewall and weld and body work the pieced together about half way down and drilling the spot welds and sliding the top down over the firewall eliminates that.

The white truck that G&R's57GMC posted looks to be chopped about 2-1/2 inches if that much. I like thr look of the running boards being tucked to the bottom of the cab. By the way the bed meets the cab it looks like the cab was channeled around five inches. That photo is going in my inspiration album.
