I would have to say that you would need to cut the glass or get new glass
made. The reason I say that is because if you front wind shield is sloped
you would either have to chop the top lower and then make a more sloped
windshield or shop the roof and lengthen it to keep the same slope. That is
a very messy thing to do. I talked to a guy next to me from Nat's last year
who had a D150 (maybe a 100) with the font of the op chopped 6" and the rear
chopped 4". He also made on door suicide and the other regular. To top
that he chopped the bed 12-16" (can't remember) for a shorter wheel
base...This thing was wild...

Here's a silly question; when you chop a vehicle, what do you do with
the glass? For the side windows, do you need to cut it, or can you just
leave it as-is but they just don't go "up" all the way anymore? What about
the front and rear glass? I assume you need to have something custom made?
