Chop Top as a daily driver?

[beaterC10]

I may have a chance to buy a 4" chopped cab with shaved doors for my 84. I posted this same question on the 73-97 board and no replys, maybe one of you 67-72 guys can help.

Is a chop top too much hassle for a daily driver? Some of the issues I can think of are:

Will the windshield and rear window leak after the rubber seal is cut down?

I would guess the seat would have to be lowered or replaced to get head room. I am 6' 2" so I expect some issues here.

Would the column have to be dropped lower from the dash to match up with a lower seat.

The other concern I have is with shaved doors and living in the midwest were ice and snow are common. I can envision a dead battery and frozen doors.

Does anyone have any real world experience driving a chop top truck or with shaved doors?

I would appreciate any input
