My convertable Chevelle has a different windshield than my hardtop. It is lower and I believe is raked back a bit compared to the hardtops.

It might be a good idea to leave the back higher. :p To finish off the front you could use a Blazer windshield frame rail if you can find one.

Here's one that was at a show I went to this year. I think it was very well done.

Buy a blazer! I think the body lines do not flow well convertible on a truck. The bed gap makes it look funny.
