Hello Triple R!

[my54rat]

My name is Tony and I'm from California and I'm building my first Rat Rod. I bought a 54 GMC cab and I'm ready to Rat-it-out! I am considering chopping the top by 4"....I've never done it before, but I'm ready for the challenge. Let me know if you have any suggestions for chopping the top. Thanks!

I'd leave that one just like it is with all that perfect patina.

Welcome from Tejas!

As far as chopping tops goes... Tex Smith's How To Chop Tops is considered the bible for topin' chopin'!!!

Welcome from Rhode Island. Make sure you fit and can see out of it before you chop it. try taping off the top of the windshied till you are comfortable with it. also see if you can find someone to cut the wind shield.

Welcome

Nice start for a project [cl
What Tripper said about Tex Smith, also you might think about getting a windshield and cut it/have it cut to the height you think you want and build the opening to match the glass, i've done a few and wish i would follow my own advise. [S
Happy Building[
Start that build thread so we can keep up.
