I just want to find out if there's anyone with more experience than me on this. I have limited knowledge on this subject.

I say go for it.It will look nice if you do it rite and take your time. You can cut the windows an winsheild with a sand blaster. I would suggest using 2 roofs so you can keep the roof the sam size so you don't have to lay the posts down. My dad has done probabley 30 chops or so thats how I know the glass can be cut with a blaster. Good luck if you go with it..Plus if you have done one before thats just more exp.. under your belt.

this one is a buddy of mines truck. its guna be a bad bitch when its done....ahem, if it ever gets finished.
i would chop the top on my truck if it wasnt so damn expensive. i always thought the cabs were too tall on almost ALL chevy trucks, so it looks more proportional to me. i say go for it. youll be suprised how much of a difference 3" will make.

I've seen it done in a magazine or two...one even had an article of how they did it...can't remember which mag, it was a while ago I think it looks really good when it's done right. Plus, if you're short like me (5'10" on a good day), you still have a good foot to play with before headroom becomes an issue....helps to be bald too
