I like the the ad where it says, "and it also has 3 doors".

Same here. Chop tops make the bottom half out of proportion. It just looks huge below when the top is dropped.

Re: Chop Top Burb for sale on CL in FL

Re: Chop Top Burb for sale on CL in FL

like it or hate it, there's 1000 bucks worth of parts.
I think it looks more on the bad ass side, a lot better then a truck with the top chopped.

Re: Chop Top Burb for sale on CL in FL

If I was paying $1000 for a parts truck I'd rather it had full height doors, windows, etc. How many of those parts would be useable if they're chopped. Would mostly be hood, and donor panels below the window line. Not much for $1,000.

Re: Chop Top Burb for sale on CL in FL

if that chop is done right 1,000 bucks seems good to me. sounds like the seller doesnt really know what he has...he didnt list any of the body mods in the back

Re: Chop Top Burb for sale on CL in FL

fenders, hood, core support, rolling chassis, whatever eng/tranny parts or brackets under the hood... any seating or brackets...
If you couldn't get 1000 bucks parting that out then you aren't trying. Looking at the guide coat over primer tells me the body work is close to done.

Agreed. Not sure what they did though with the front window opening, almost looks like they made a built in sunvisor like a 60-66...

As with any chop, if it ain't done right and the front window can't be made, the truck is basically good for parts only.

But it is cool lookin.
