It's actually easier to chop the top of a 5-window.

Your just going to make more pie cuts to align the metal.

Cut the rear section of the cab cut about an inch from the body curve so the
metal will have less chance of warping when you weld it back together.

Slice the A pillars right where the lead is located.

Hope you have spare side windows to have cut down to fit the new opening.
They crack very easy when being sanded down to their new size.  Some people
use plexi-glass as an alternative.

Good Luck.
