i am wrecking a sierra ute at the moment just thinking if i can cut the body back of the cab off and welding it to the front of a cut down hard top my reasons for this is that the ute cab is full of rust and hard to find and expensive just wondering on ideas cause i really badly want a ute |

Ute's love to rust in the lower back panel anyway, so you may be better off cutting down a tin top & making the cab that way, of try get your hand's on a maruti cab & cut up a soft top, but good luck with the maruti cab.. |

Take the try off & look at the sloped bit near the base of the cab, give it a few tap's to with the handle of a screw driver.. A sierra has to be very frucked to not want to save it, a ute more so... |

But I'd rather kill a tintop to save a ute Wouldn't you? But what I'm asking would it fit and what would be the best option? For cost and practabiltity and of course looks |

If you are going to cut the back wall off a ute to join to a tintop leave the ute roof intact and cut at windscreen pillars... Smallest joining welds possible makes for a neater and stronger final result. |

Why not chop the tintop and glue the bum or tailgate off that to the back. That way if you stuff it up you still have a ute cab to fall back on. |

Agreed. And when you do chop the roof off your ute, sell it to me. Mines got a few dints in it, and repairing roof dints is virtually impossible. |
