chop top...

As you can tell, I didn't have anything to do today <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Hey, some of my best mods were the love child of a well-stocked shop and an afternoon of boredom <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Looking good! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Very unique and <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
But the less knowledgable will be scratching there heads and asking.... Is that a earlier version of the Hummer H2 SUT? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Yeah I built it in a shop that you don't have to get your hands dirty <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Theres alot of photos that get built in that shop <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Yeah I've got way too much time on my hands!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for showing me what my Trooper will look like in a few months <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I just gotta get the motor running first

[Thread hijack] did you ever cut down that chevy dana axle? [/thread hijack]

Sweet dude. your going to have to bring that thing down to barnwell!!!!

I did cut that axle down 3" on the long side.
I haven't really done much else to it though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

To match a waggy width you'll have to cut both sides down, but that's another subject....

I've already popped out a window to see what I'm dealing with. It looks like it shouldn't be too hard. I think I'm gonna use the front of a truck bed to build the lower wall of the new cab and fab a window frame to accept a Ford Ranger sliding rear window. I like the Fords cause they are the tallest mini truck window i've seen. By using a after market slider window I can have custom glass made if I have to narrow the frame any. I don't know yet though, I'll see when I get there.

Since your playing!

How about taking the 4 door crew cab and adding the long bed back half of a 2 door body behind it. Sort of a crew cab pickup. We are talking about 29 inches added to the entire truck. Line up the rear 2 door jamb to the rear 4 door jamb, but leave the shorted cab top on it.

Oh yea, and use the lower rear corner of the 2 door door on the back door of the 4 door. Square cornered, no wheel well, get it?

Let's just say I'm curious how it's going to come out when I get through.




But don't spread this around!! It's a secret project for this Winter.

Well how about an Isuzu rear pickup slider window?
I think I have two. Your welcome to one as it's only taking up space around here.

I'm saving one for my back crew cab glass. I am going to use my bead roller to make the rear wall panel on mine. The wall frame will be made with 1" square tubing. Be happy to experiment with you on yours if you ever want to come out to my shop some weekend once you get that beast going. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
