Of course there is more than one way to chop a top. Every time I see a really rust roof I think about it. Then I think how much time I would have it off vs the time and money to do the work.

Thanks for the help guys I think I'm doing to leave it like it is . I really like the way the cab looks and the only chopped truck I like they added 4in in the roof of the cab to keep from giving to such of an angle. I font know that I'm ready to take on that kinda project yet being that this is doing to be my fifirst build. Thanks for the help. I'm sure I will have many more questions

I don't think these trucks look good with the roof chopped. I say don't chop it.

Haha. Never happen. You'll have to find a different reason to b-slap me. Hahaha.

Don't do it. Just doesn't look right on these trucks.

You're right. Why mess with a good thing? Not that I would even if I *had* the money. But, it might be kind-of fun.

It'll never happen on my truck. Even a subtle change would be $$$$$$.
And I can't even afford paint.

Maybe if Chip Foose was the "chopper"?

Anybody want me to P-Chop their ride? Hahahaha!
