Re: Chop Tops ???

I seem to remember something about...
the only chop top that look ok, are the ones that the back glass is left stock size, but the bottom of the back window is lowered to match the bottom of the door glass height.
And you gotta cut more outta the front pillars than you do the rear of the cab just to make it look level...???
There was an write-up on it in one of the truck mags a few years ago.
A chop top is way easier to screw up the looks of, then it is a make look good.
For every 1 good looking chop top truck, there is 29 terrible looking chop top trucks...
I personally am lowering my '68 Fr=3" & Rr=5" and keeping the stock cab, complete with vent windows... but I like the classic look myself... which means no billet aluminum stuff anywhere...
just my opinion.... your truck... built it how you want it.
