Top chop ?'s
I saw a guy on these forums with a flare side regular cab that he chopped the top. I'm not sure how much but I'm looking for input as far as how hard it was, best way to do it, so on and so forth. I was planning on chopping my truck and putting a rag top sunroof on it as I won't be driving it everyday soon. I bought an extra cab for practice but I'm looking for as many pointers as possible before tackling this task. My buddy has chopped a couple tops already but never a ford truck as "new"(lol) as mine. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!! Pics to follow!!!!!

man that truck looks sick! I'm trying to go for a chop about that low but im also exploring the idea of a body drop. my mind is all over the place when it comes to this truck. It was a free gift and alot of the sheet metal is trashed(rust) so its getting replaced anyways. I just gotta find a little direction

I'm bumping this in hopes of some direction. The project is gonna start in about 2 to 4 weeks and I will be buying a camera and taking detailed photos of the project every step of the way. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hey I got your message on the flip kit. Figured id post here. Its very easy to install.
Pretty much just pull the leaf springs off place them under axle with bracket and bolt everything back up.
With a flip kit you will want to C notch the frame because the axle will contact the frame if you don't notch it.
Im pretty sure I have more pictures if you need them. Just have to find them.
