I haven't chopped one of these trucks before. So after lots of thought I made a plan of attack and started cutting. After bracing up the cab, we marked our cuts (1.5") on the A and B pillars. we then removed the material and lined the B pillars back up best we could (we will pie-cut and move the metal around to line it up perfectly later). We then set the roof angle where we thought it looked good and tacked in some supports to keep it there. Then we sliced and layed the lower half of the A pillar back, and brought the upper half of the A pillar up until they lined up. We have them clamped together with a piece of tubing in the pics. It's a pretty subtle mod, but should be pretty slick when we get it all finished up.

I will try and get some good pics of it rolled outside tomorrow.

Hey Nathan good to see your threads up again!! I'm curious as to what a pie cut is? I know it's a basic question but it seems not even the google machine could help me on that one. Also, what are your plans to fill the bigger gap between the door and the cab created by removing the drip rails?

Thanks,
Dan in Sun City

I think, don't quote me on this, this is just me guessing. I think a pie cut though is where he pretty much does a cut like a slice of pie? which leaves him the ability to move the part he wishes at any angle he wants and then he adds that piece he cut and a little extra to fill the widened gap or subtracts some from the piece and puts it back in place. Did I guess right?

How did the rear of the cab fit back together after cutting it? I am fixing to do this mod to the cab that I am putting on my blazer but I have to get it on there first in stock form and then do the chop. Keep us up to date on this one.
Thanks
