A good height for a T... A bit late now, but it sure helps to keep things straight if you brace the cab before you start cutting. No big deal on a T, just going to take a bit more time to keep everything straight when you weld it together....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

[QUOTE=Tom F]Heck, stock height is about the only way you will fit in it Tom.... if I chopped the top, I'd have to take an equal length section out of your chest....

[QUOTE=Dave Severson;321358]I'd go for the legs. Not as much re routing to do. Originally Posted by Tom F
