    Really?

    That would definitely turn heads. If you can figure it out.


    Definitely customized. If you got the cash,,,,,,,,,,,,,,do it.

    you will need to reinforce the cab so the door gaps stay aligned, kinda like chopping a top. except make sure they are nice looking since they will need to be kept inside. I'm not sure on making it a hardtop convertible. i thought about it but it seemed like a pain in the butt.

    I saw a truck like that at scr8pfest. it looked to me like he used the section he cut ogg the truck and added support as needed. his latches were all custom and hand fabricated according to his buil sheet he had in front of the truck. you may be able to find pics if you find some from the show.
