Title: Chopping my 78??? HelP
Post by: JFIFE on June 22, 2006, 10:41:00 pm

I am planning on chopping my 1978 C-10 and got a book (How to chop tops) which explains the process clearly except for side window issues... I am wondering if anyone out there has tried this and what your solution was for all of the glass..
Thanks

This might help a littel.

Most people who chop the tops on our trucks have a glass shop cut down the glass.  It is a delicate procedure, often best left for a professional.

Thanks Jeff.  I was planning on letting a glass shop do it, I have just had a hard time finding one that will mess with tempered glass.. Maybe I should just leave it, and spend some money on a stereo... Thanks again!
