    Well, this is my thinking. My current truck is chopped 4" and channeled 6". The way I did my frame, I have 2 1/2" of head room. I used a Glide seat frame, if I build my own frame I can still have a bench seat and pick up 2" of head room. By stretching the cab I will pick up 2 1/2" of leg room. So if I am correct I will wind up with more interior space than my current one. So the only question is will it look correct.
    Denny, thank you for doing that. I have always thought when you chop one of these things over 4" the lower portion of the truck looks way to tall. so thats why I thought by sectioning it the 2" it would even things out. I believe after looking at what Denny did it looks correct. I' going to do it.
    Don, my thoughts aren't to streamline it, just to get the overall look symmetrical.
    Do you guys think it looks good or not? Forget about head room and cramping, I think I can build that out of the equation.
    Pat, what years did you run your truck?
