how does it look?
i found a free photo shop style program online. how do you guys think my truck looks with a chop? I don't know how many inches this would be, i just cut about half of the top out.
before:  after:  i like it but i don't, i think it would look better slammed as well, i think i'll do that next. it sure does help to be able to visualize it though. |

Re: how does it look?
well i figured i couldn't use the stock height bench seat
 before i decide how much to chop if i go that route i will remove the seat and see how low i can sit and still be able to see over the dash, not hit my head, etc. I'd also like to do a 3" body drop so i have to take that into account. hmmmmm...... |

Re: how does it look?
pic don't look too bad. Little distortion around the cab but definitely good for free.

Re: how does it look?
 you could be like the 'blue-hairs' here in AZ and as long as you can see between the dash and the upper arc of the steering wheeel - you're good to go!!!

Re: how does it look?
 it looks so cool........i slammed it here, looks better but i need to work on my photoshopping skills. Any good reads i can pick up on lowering that might help me with this truck. I need to bone up on all this custom frame stuff.

Re: how does it look?
Actually - yea... the October issue of Sport Truck Magazine is a "Paint & Body" issue and has a pretty good article about chopping a top....
lots of other good stuff too.... hope it helps. Sam

Re: how does it look?
Whats the 20' on this "free" software? Try taking out about half the amount of the top. I saw a 65 with 4" out of the back and 6" out of the front. SCHWEET! Drop it with bags and you can set it up where you like it.
