Funny story: My dad crashed his '75 pulling a fifth wheel trailer back in the day. The damage got into the cab back, up above the rear window, so in order to repair the body shop physically cut the top of the cab off and grafted a new one in its place. That would have been an ideal time to do a chop. We talked about it briefly but chickened out.... K

Laying the windshield back is one way to save money,The other way if you have room is sink it down inside the cowl so it looks cut but ain't.
