chopping 1962 c10

[62chevyshorty]

Hi Guys, I am a new guy here on this forum. I purchased my pick up in 1994 in Saskatchawan. Brought her home and gave her a face lift, I will post pics later. She looked great. Then she got cancer, and sat at home for the better part of 10 or 12 years. Now its time to resurect her. I got big plans for her.
#1 chop the roof.
#2 suicide doors.
#3 9 inch rearend.
#4 rebuild the 350 4bolt main.
#5 possibly use a mustang or iroc complete front end.
Anyone here try such a project, if so your input would be greatly appreciated.
Also pis of any 62's chopped, I hear the windshield is next to impossible to cut.
Anyone here live close to Cambridge ont. canada.
Also anyone have parts for sale, like doors or fleetside box.

check out my 60 build, Iin my sig. I have chopped it, but have not done the windshield next.
I had heard that 3 inches is about the max you can cut and still be able to cut and fit an original windshield.

if you search chop on the main 60-66 forum there are a couple of threads with lots of pics.
