Chop it. If you want to see one done look for pictures of Jack Rudy from the Beatniks. He's got a 5 window chopped 3" and it looks good. The corner rear windows end up being plexi-gl*** though.
Chop it. Plan on spending time double checkin' everything. I did a '50 F-1, but I also shortend the wheel base 8" and fabed a flip front end.
i would get a 3 window cab to chop. The 5 window cab is hasrder because of the corner gl***. I had my truck chopped 5in. I love how it cant out. As for the doors just get some 47-52 dorrs. Turn down handles and no wing windows. Then i would drop it to the ground. Thats what i am doing with mine. Here are som pics. Befor: After
