that poor truck has the potential to be sweet... all it needs is a cab change, and paint.

Another case of the engine being worth more than the truck, and smarter than the owner!

You'd have to sit on the floor unless you are under 4ft tall (then you have the problem of getting into it.
Way I see it, he priced what the glass was going to cost after doing the chop and decided to run.

Yeah, ready for glass! He probably chopped it and then discovered it is impossible to get a windshield to fit back into the cab. So, now it is for sale.

Mark this under the "There ought to be a law against" header - LOL. I hope his engine building skills are better than his judgement.

Chopped and shaved trucks do not belong up in the air.

in my opinion the only things that people should be allowed to chop are 20s and 30s and 40s coupes and a few of the trucks from that era everything else should stay, all i can say is that guy needs to have a few things cut a pasted to him
