    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    I appreciate that, any specifics about what you don’t like about a chopped top?

    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    maybe haul a bumper tow vacation trailer but that’d likely be decided at a later date. It is a Dana70hd hood eye! So if I’m only using it for my own shits and giggles your saying chop it, I can put whatever I want in it for seats the dual tanks are being switched out for one in the box smoothed...

    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    Yeah I could pretty well do whatever I want as the dual tanks aren’t going back in it...but I’m trying to figure out what doesn’t look right when you chop a square.

    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    the idea is not to sell it, but I get your points, can you explain the proportions get out of whack?

    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    No, and I’m not, it’s just to figure out what makes the chop so unappealing to those who don’t like it, lots of guys do, I’ve seen it and like them my self and I’ve seen a couple that were done wrong, but I couldn’t figure what was “wrong” with how the ones done poorly, looking for insights.

    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    Dad is 10years in the ground, I’m coming up on 40, he didn’t have the skills to do some of these things himself, others he ran out of money for, he would of loved to see the suspension configuration, the chop I have no idea... I plan still to modify the width of the box to be a fleet side...

    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    Just looking into the idea of it and why there is any opposition to it.

    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    Tilt it? What like front to back??

    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    its different, its a lot of work though... and I’ve not seen it done with a write up as of yet. I’ve made all my own suspension thus far.

    Chop the top? Or don’t, that is the question...

    Fair, I’ve spent the time and made my own c notch four link and upper front A arm bracket... but I respect that opinion.

    Inner Rocker, Outer Rocker, Inner Cab Corner, Kick Panel & Floor Replacement

    I had this same issue with my drivers side cab corner but relief cuts allow the manipulation of the panel.

    Inner Rocker, Outer Rocker, Inner Cab Corner, Kick Panel & Floor Replacement

    These replacement body panels sometimes are just bloody ignorant! Slowly working the cab corner all the way around and then had a bulge in the bottom, couple of relief cuts and slow manipulation and managed to get the panel placed and aligned the way I was looking for.

    Hey bubba! Thanks, but I’m definitely no expert with body work, I am a dual ticketed Journeyman Welder and Heavy Equipment Technician/Mechanic, it’s all about time and effort you are willing to put in... only reason this thread exists is because I couldn’t find anything to reference myself and...

    Inner Rocker, Outer Rocker, Inner Cab Corner, Kick Panel & Floor Replacement

    Spent a little time, up late last night prepping the cab corner, and then up early this morning with final layout of the rocker and cab corner. Don’t rush, take your time with this now and you’ll require less body filler later.

    Inner Rocker, Outer Rocker, Inner Cab Corner, Kick Panel & Floor Replacement

    So I ended up modifying the brackets from rock auto to get the door gap better, it’s definitely not perfect, but I am not necessarily looking for a show truck, the more time you spend on gaps/alignment/fitment the better off you are going to be come prep fill block sand and paint time.
