questions for chopping my top

[chopped75chevy]

I want to chop the top on my 75 but i have some questions. I was wondering what do i do for the window runs on the side window and the gaskets for the windsheild and back window. and what do i do for my vent window and the backglass how do i get the the size i need thanks
i also am open to sugestions for how much i should chop it thanks

Wyo Tech is an excelent metal fabrication school. I have been doing body work for close to 20 years and I know a guy that graduated 2 years ago from Wyo Tech and he is a much better matal shaper than I am. The top of the doors is the same for all these trucks.
