Chopping a top is only a small bit of all the work that goes into a chop top. The seat has to be lowered and the steering wheel column has to be lowered and shortened. I tilted my A pillars back and dropped the roof to match. I use original front and rear glass. The wing windows were deleted and the side glass was custom cut to match. I think when you lower the truck (which is a horizontal plane) you have to lower the cab to match. I think it looks like Mr. Potato Head if you lower the truck and not chop the top. My opinion and I think you can lower it toooo much. I am not a fan of the gangster, sinister radical chop top.
