I am chopping my 47 International KB 7" total. I cut 4" out of the doors and leaned the front post back to the door top. Pancaked the roof 3", chopped the windshield 2" and leaned it back about 4" at the top. Cut the center of the windshield and dropped it 5/8" then removed 2 1/2" above the windshield to complete the pancake. I will be taking 1 1/2" out of the rear window to match the side windows and installing it at the same height as the side windows.

When I leaned the windshield back I cut it loose at the cowl and let the corners drop then flowed the cowl and lower edge together. If I did it again I would have taken the 7" out of the back of the cab at the rear radius of the door top instead of just above the belt line. It would have been easier than having to add a 1/2' strip between the top and the rear door post on the vertical. This is my first chop and I figured that doing a slanted post and having an inner cab skin along with the pancake was the way to go. I figure the herder the better.

When I see 33-34 Fords chopped I like to see the roof stretch to keep that nice line on the front of the door. If the post is leaned back it needs to be done properly, that means that the whole windshield post all the way down needs to be cut from the cowl and leaned back otherwise you end up with a dogleg in the bottom of he post and the corners of the windshield sticking out and not sealing.

I will post pics of the International chop when I get a new USB cord to download them off my phone.
