Looks like some more evidence of a chop and possibly a custom dash. I'm liking it!

here is where it starts, laying down the tape and measurements.
I used 2 pieces of 1.5 inch masking tape to get the 3 inch cut.
since I am going to be using a different, better roof I have some extra measurements put down, so I could see exactly where to lay the tape in the same spot on the other roof.

jonzcustomshop · 08-02-2009, 07:15 PM

you can see where I will trim for the big back window.
and more shots of getting all the measurements figured out BEFORE I cut!
since the top of the orange door was wiped out by a giant mirror I will be using the post off another door that was junk on the bottom

jonzcustomshop · 08-02-2009, 07:16 PM

getting the cuts lined up for the doors
you can see the new profile of the side window, and also notice to the rear of the post that it does not line up, there is about a 1/2 inch difference because of the post moving at an angle, but the roof moving straight down.

jonzcustomshop · 08-02-2009, 07:16 PM

door frames are cut, and it is point of no return, the top is off!
you can see the angle iron that I welded inside the cab to make sure nothing moved after the top was cut off.

jonzcustomshop · 08-02-2009, 07:17 PM

a good shot of the cross section of the roof and door pillar.
the last shot shows the roof with the skin off. I will reuse the inner headliner panel on the new roof.
I was going to use the roof skin too, but as you can see mice got in to the header panel and rusted everything up.
I will have to use the skin off another truck....

jonzcustomshop · 08-02-2009, 07:18 PM

the pieces I will reuse off the old roof (in the first shot you can see the bottom of the roof skin is surface rusted, when I went after it with a makita equiped with a wire brush, I blew holes all through the rust area.)

the last two shots show how the roof will need to be widened. the posts are lined up on the passenger side, and on the driver side they end up being about 3/4 of an inch off.

jonzcustomshop · 08-02-2009, 07:18 PM

more of it being too narrow, and the new profile!
