glad I went with 5 inches [dr
now to fit and weld [

To me, that is one of the most fun parts of the build, seeing the roof back on, chopped, and then the start of welding it all back together! looks like just the right amount to chop on that cab!

Looks like just the right amount of chop and the rake is great

picked up a bed for $100 bucks today.
Was told it was off the guys 36 ford hes restoring. solid bed with an un-scripted tailgate.

Splitting the roof is easier, but does not look good at all as the flow is completely wrong. It also warps the **** out of everything..

Finally got going on a few things. Got the windows out, braced the cab and trying to figure out my next step for my chop. I love the look of 4.5-5.5 inch chops on these cabs but I haven't done this before so its a little nerve wrecking.....
So any advice on this would be great. I know its been asked 1000 times but for a new guy like myself whats easier to tackle, splitting the roof or laying the pillars back? I think id be willing to only chop it around 4 inches if it would mean an easier process.
thanks in advance
Also I scored a 36 Chevy grill off a buddy for $50
