If you do decide on a 46 ford pickup, I have a couple extra cabs left over. A late 70s or early 80s chevy pickup chassis is just a hair narrower, and with a few shims works quite well. For the top, I would split the top front to back in the center, and then side to side, making for quarters. Chop the posts, and weld them bach together. Then fill the center of the top in. This way allows you to bring the top down straight, or put a slight rake to it. Remember to attach braces while you do this, because the cab will try to spread out when you remove the top
