You don't cut the glass, you sand the edge. A good glass man can cut it, but be prepared to have an extra windshield for him as they break very easily. Glass shops use a water cooled belt sander to work on windshields. The pillars do not line up, takes some extra pieces to fill in the gaps, a spare roof and doors is the best way to do it. Not too hard to find some spare parts, doesn't matter if the doors are rusted all the way to the door handle, all you'll need is the top frame of the door, and a section of the roof.... Ford pickups aren't a difficult chop, as far as chopping goes, but no chop is easy. An alternative to cutting the windshield is to lay the posts back and make the necessary changes to the windshield frame on the cowl and the roof... Lots of ways to do it, depends on how much fun you want to have!!!!!

And yes, I do hang out on FTE sometimes. The purists don't seem to like me!!! Imagine that!!!!!!
