Re: Chopped Tops

About 20 years ago I had to 72 with a 4" chop. The only thing I didn't like about it was the overhead visabilty for redlights & such. I used a prism from speedway stuck to the windshield to see them easier

Luv the chop on this truck. Subtle and not over the top.

Re: Chopped Tops

The yellow one is the first chopped one that I think looks good, I really dont like the look of them chopped though!

I agree. When you chop them say past 2" they don't look right. IMO

Re: Chopped Tops

I have a 68, that has had the top chopped 3 inches. It was done clean and the lines flow quite well. I will have to dig up pics of it, I don't have them here at work.

Re: Chopped Tops

I think the craigslist truck would look better if it was a swb stepside since its a small window. Back when all we had was car shows and magazines for inspiration one of the slickest 67-72's I saw had a 4" chop and a 4" body section, the body section didn't stand out unless it was parked next to another truck
