8) Do you have any other pictures? I haven't seen one with the roof chopped off before. What did it require for additional bracing after the roof was cut off?

I have other pics I can post ...I will dig them up..As far as the bracing . it did not need much ..We had a solid floor and the gas tank helped out alot on the drivers side with the filler neck sticking out ..On the other side I put a piece of wood between the bed and the back of the cab. and held in place with a screw through the bed . It only needed to move the cab about a 1/4 of an inch...... The main thing is having a solid floor.. Also if there was a problem with support I was prepared to weld the doors shut at the bottom six inches up and recut the bottom of door so it would be up higher.......

Shame on you, that is Nestles :dk:

I don't have bracing on the passenger side, plus I have the sign on the top of the windshield. There is no give to my windshield, and I grab it to get my big a__ out of the seat to get out.
