Slantcab Picture Request

Hello everybody,

I have a need from someone who has chopped the top on their Slant Cab (53-55'). Anyone who has done a 3 Inch chop would you care to send me a photo of how the job turned out in a finished state? My email is this username, tacson, at aol.com. Thanks to anyone that can help

Thanks John, these all look to be at least 4" chops based on how the windshield appears. Fellow Music City F100 Club member Mark Coleman's green extended cab 55' has a 2" front and 2.5" back chop but because it is an extended truck I can't get a good visualization for what a regular cab would look like chopped just 2 inches. Since I won that front end, and I have a new bed already I was thinking, probably more like dreaming of getting another cab and frame.

Tacson -

If you want to see a beautiful 2-inch chop job, look at the cover truck for last month's Custom Classic Trucks magazine. That truck was at the F100 Western Nationals. It is a beaty. The 2-inch chop is very nice, very subtle.
