    No chop. I think Henry nailed the proportions perfectly.

    4 out of back and 3-3/4 out of the front on this one, they look funny to me when they are chopped strait, it sounds funny that 1/4 can make a difference but trust me it does.

    Here's a 4" straight chop that I had done several years ago. The rear window was only chopped 2" by taking a bit of metal above & below it, made driving a bit nicer when you can see everything.

    Here's mine with a touch under a 6" haircut. I dropped my dash 3/4" to get a little better visibility.

    I chopped my first one 2.5" not enough, second one 4". (Oct. 05 R&C) For my size it was to much but it did look good, My current one is 3 and I like it. I'm 6.2 X 260, I shouldn't be building another truck!

    Here's mine with a (I believe) 4 inch chop on it. Might come a touch lower to clean up some poor welds and cut gaps by the previous owner..

    I believe 4 inches although looking at some others it could be a little less.

    this is Scott Hammon's 32, chopped 4" cowl stretched 4" and the body set back on the frame 4". Was a drag racer so that's why the body relocation.

    I know it's 4" because we used masking tape for measurements and all we had was 4" tape.

    Your old truck was a big inspiration to me when I was forming my vision of what my blue '33 would look like !
