Chop Top?
Hello fellow FTE's,
Glad to be here. I love the look of a lowered roof. Who can tell me first what
they really call this process and what it entails and the costs.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum 
I don't recall ever seeing a chopped roof on this style of truck in any magazines or anywhere. I can't think of a much harder truck to chop than one of these.
Anyone seen one done?

I have never seen one on this type of truck. It is an expensive project if you are going to have someone do it for you. If you are thinking about doing it yourself you have to cut all the a and b pillers at the right spots, cut the roof into pie shaped peices and weld everything back together to look nice and then have the glass cut and put back in. It takes alot of metal and welding work. It would be one nice looking truck but would take alot of work and be expensive. goodluck

No info here, just some pics. Probably what Smaug has seen before.

This might help a very little bit. A pro write-up on the same truck with one in-progress pic at the bottom.

I assume 37/8 means it was chopped 3 7/8"...looks very nice indeed.
Here's another with a 3" chop, but not as good pics:

Doing this to an ext. cab? Now that should be a project! Definately post pics when you do it.
