Hello, I am wondering if anybody here has chopped the top on their pu?

I have a 67 c10 that I bought a few mo. ago and was thinking it would look pretty cool chopped. So if anyone here has experiance with chopping one of these I sure would appreciate any info/tips. Thank you.

Ps I would post a few pics but i'm afraid I'm a bit of a techtard, I will try and have Mrs.C. do it later.

I am a new member awaiting my permission to start with my journey Ozzcart_83! I am typing under my good buddy Gentry69s ID. I have a 1968 that you will see later. I thought really hard about choppin my truck. That is until one of my dads friend actually bought one that was already done. My dad has chopped a few in his day but not this model. When I saw the truck for the first time I did have to look twice. But, it was chopped 3 in. and it put the truck way out of proportion. My opinion is that the front end and also the fleetside bed is tall enough that when you chop it, it throws it out of wack!
But I did look it over very well and I think that the hardest part of it will be the front winshield posts.
