Has anyone chopped a Tin Top down to a Tray Back Style Cab?

Seen it done a few times with soft tops...

If so any pics of your work?

I think the biggest issue is the tintop body doesn't have the same strength as the soft top. I guess it would work if you fabricated a solid rear bulkhead for it. Just Cruzin started building an extra cab out of a tintop, then he got distracted with other toys :lol:

True,

I can get a spare tin top body on the cheap, and keep looking at them wondering if cutting it in half and using the back door and surrounds as the back of the cab as such could work..
