Captchaos- THANKS!!!  Lowbudget- actually cut the roof off to start the chop today, and now that its off i'm thinking bout changing plans and making it "topless". If i do i'm gonna chop the door tops down level with the bed! But idk, i'm taking votes on my facebook page and so far all have said topless except one!lol What do you guys think? Cant seem to get the current pics from my phone to here so if you have a facebook look for Big Bird in Texas, check it out, and get back to me!!!

This is just my opinion, and I would have to see it, but the front a-pillar is going to look really lost in such a LONG truck...

Just putting another thought out there, what about raising the rear bed caps to match the original door seal lip?

You may want to have it photoshopped to get an idea.

That was a thought i had too Captchaos, even taper it domn to nothing at the rear to match the taper of the hood. But i have decided to go with the chop due to the fact that she's a driver not a trailor queen and it would suck to be out when one of those unexpected Texas thunder storms comes out of nowhere!lol Heres what i have as of today tho!

I think chopped is a better idea.
