It's been done, but why so...

I've seen (picture, ebay auction) a 65 Chevy pickup chopped, but why don't 60s pickups get chopped more often? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

my guess is the conture around the rear window and behind the doors is really weird .and they look good unchoped anyways .farm trucks rox my sox

inner and outer roof skins are a bitch...plus the cab pillars are triangular shaped somewhat...so they need butchered too.....to look right.

Yeah, The inner holds the outer up on a stock truck.
Cut it out and the outher caves in and oilcans.
That was the first thing I did when I chopped one, and I knew I was in trouble...
I took 6" out of it and I got it to look right, but it was a lot of work...
