Just an added tip for you on the windshield part of the project.
As you know when you chop the top, the "A-Pillars" pull away from each
other. You can their for just cut through the A-pillars lower the back of
the cab down to it's new height and then just lean the front A-pillars back
to meet the top "without cutting a section out of it!
This would allow you to keep the stock height of glass for the windshield
and still look chopped.
On the same principle, you could cut a section out from around the rear
window and keep the stock glass for the rear.
So do you think this might help you out on using the corner windows?
