Back in the early 80's, I looked at mid 70's Chevy half ton standard cab convertible for sale in Potomac, Maryland. The guy invested big bucks making the conversion, but the end result, though professionally done, did not score any style points from any angle I observed.
Also in the early 80's, Paul Ramm at Shirlington Autobody in Virginia chopped the top on a late 70's Chevy 454 stepside and it did score some major style points, but even he couldn't get a windshield cut to fit without it cracking during installation. I left Virginia for Utah before he finished that project, assuming he ever did.
My 1980 F-350 4x4 looked just fine from the factory, so I chose not to mess with the body then or now. The drive train is another story that never ends.
