Yes, you did.

How?

How?

Maybe a little to much of a chop. But to each there own.

These trucks are not rare around here.
I like the fact he didn't do a huge chop.

Looks like a 5 in. chop, no more.

I thought this was an odd process. Don't you normally chop the roof then match the doors to the chop?

 

[lowbudget50]

That's how I do them. But that doesn't mean I know what I'm doing hahahahaha

 

[Old Iron]

Yep, top first doors last

 

[Couper]

That's how I did mine.... top then doors.

To be honest, in Canada they're probably the second most common of classic trucks (after the 67-72 Chevy's). At every show and meet there are a bunch. I'm not typically a fan of them chopped, but it makes it stand out.
