Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
Get the 47-54 AD.54&551st are the same.Follow the 54 parts and you will do fine.there are a few parts that are 54&551st belonging to these years only.

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
shavy shavy the cowl vent.
carefully hammer and dollied the vents just closed enough so there was enough support for the glass. Here are a few picks, The vent in the last pics are of it just sitting in there, I have a bit more work to do to it and pick up some 3m body sealer. 27 bux a tube is a tad scary, but eh... maybe it goes a long way. Thank You Mr. Ogre!

Don't forget to plug the wiper drain holes otherwise you'll still get drainage in the cowl Posted via Mobile Device

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
Drivea55, dash is looking good.
do yourself a favor and reach under your dash and cut out all the support for the ashtray. I didn't and it seams like it was in the way of everything I did under my dash. Wiring, ac, stereo, wipers, wiring and did I mention wiring would have been easier with that out of the way.

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
So as some of you know, chopping a tf is not a easy task. We chopped for hieght and then had the glass guy cut the ws so we have a better template.
Question is... #1 should i post here in my build Or #2 start a new thread On how to chop a tf truck.??? The sectioning will begin shortly and i want to doc it for future enthusiasts. What do you guys think is better? Brian Posted via Mobile Device

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
We spent a many hours attempting to make the windshield frame right etc... sectioning and trimming and fitting etc...
gave up, I just can't get it right. option #2 would be to have a windshield made = $3000 = I don't think so... bowing out on the chopped top Next we are going to cut the roof off a donor 55 we found locally and gonna fit it back on stock height. 1st major set back, but since this is my first ground up build I can't be too dissapointed. Everything is a major learning experience. All that we are really out is time, and time vs $ is ok to me. just thought I would put an update on the truck on here. More pics coming once this next adventure is repaired. peace

Re: J.M. Laflamme Build
since you like the chop and your doors are chopped already
take the windshield you chopped and make a frame to fit it. then weld it in your truck, it's not the easiest choice but it will work. this is how it would have been done by a shop you have to tilt the whole frame back into the cowl i do know it can be a beyotch to chop any curved glass.
