I think a flush fit bed cover would look sweet too and maybe leave out the panel and have it open from the bed to the cab so I could have a decent sound system and have the bed in carpet and some custom side panels for the inner bedsides.
Thanks, Kade
It would look great with about a 1/2" rear and 1" front on the chop. You might think for that small amount why even bother but that is just the reason! That small amount would make people look at it and think it loked perfect, not stock but not chopped ether because who would chop a top so little so it must be somthing else that makes it look so good

Bed cover would be nice so you have storage and the mini truck idea about the sterio would be good as well. If I were to go in that direction I would do it like an Elcomino with sealed off storage and a truck that is sealed off from the inside but still leaving room for speacers and storage.

That is exactally what I was thinking on the chop, don't want it to stand out so much but make people scratch their heads. The main reason I would go for the bed cover is that trucks with step notches look like crap with the cover sticking up so high in the bed or that is what I think. My gas tank is going to have to come up thru the bed floor a little, the battery is going to be back there, etc. I was thinking about coming off the top of the notch to the tailgate with a cover to hide that stuff. I kind of see what your are saying about the storage compartment, that could be made with a none removeable lid and have a trunk more or less from about the rear wheels back with a cover that will open up to the gas tank and the other crap that will be back there. Humm
