Need Help ***Chopping the Top***

[FlatBrokeRacing]

Smashingchuck,
A real PITA it might be, But in my opinion (mine only) What some people call too much work is what other people thrive on. I'm just not the kind of person that is happy with bolt ons only. I gotta do something to be different.

JohnnyG,
Someone on another board suggested the same book from Tex Smith. I might just contact you in the next few months to see if you can pass off some of that Wyotech knowledge to me.

Thanks for the feed back guys.

looks a little funny with the flat roof. if you take out about an 1/2" more out of thefront it might give the trucka *****en rake.

This truck belongs to a guy that owns his own body shop. He has went through four windshields and they kept cracking in the upper corners. He finally glued the windshield in like the later model trucks are done and the problem seems to have gone away. He has a 4" chop and it is not a bad job.

heres a quick photoshop. i think i took about an inch out of the front.

[chopper tom]

Thanks man! that makes a big differance on that pic !That really gives me something to consider when i build this clone of it soon!
Ive already zed the front frame 3'' and thinking of bagging it also ?

Have you guys ever seen amove called banzia runner?
It has a sweet chopped 78 gmc in it !

[JohnnyG.]

sounds good. these trucks look a little funny if you do a straight chop on it. ive seen a couple of these done and when you give ita slight rake it gives it some attitude.

it can be done with out quartered up the top. you just can't take more then 2.5 inch in the back and 2 inch in the front. and you dont have to make the top longer. leave it as it is and just rake the front down 2 inch and pull the front pillers bake and push the back piller forewarder and push all piller in toward the inside and line it back up. and leave the backglass the same size.
