well i guess the best way to tell you where it is is to tell you it about a hour west of Binghamton. other than that i not sure how to explain it.

well truthfully i did the stockglass chop top just to see if i could. plus i guess to make the truck look lower as well. after doing the chop and putting the truck back together to see what it look like i decided to section the bed. the truck was way to long looking after doing the chop, but after the sectioning was done it all look good. well the plan is to have it at some shows this year so hopefully i will see you there if not before

thanks for the props

yes, the stock windshield and side glass will be used. i only had to modify the back window. that is the nice thing about doing a stock glass chop, but i will tell you that there is a lot of fitting and make sure that everything work and seal out when closed

Here's what you do, think about what the absolute longest amount of time that it would take you to do it.... the multiply that by 5 or so. Sounds like an exaggeration? Probably not, these projects take lots of time to do them RIGHT.

yep or just don't give yourself a deadline and just make sure that things are done right and the way you want them to be!!!! because in the end it is your truck and you have to be happy with it!!!
