More cage chop
« on: April 08, 2021, 07:18:05 PM »
Wanted to do a cage chop for some time. The roof is ridiculously high. I went with a 7 1/2 inch chop. Had to cut the roof and heat it to get it to form to the chop. Still have to cut the ends. Eventually, I'll be doing an extension over the box. It'll look like a hatchback. Going with a steel roof then.

Nice. What did you have to do to the front mounts? Anything?

Cut above the joint, and angled it back about 3/4 inch.

Got it. Thanks. I know some just egg the holes enough to flex enough on a 5" chop.. but I always thought that was wrong...and yours..on a 7.5".. still looked straight :)

That looks way better than factory. I'm gonna have to convince the wife in to that mod.

There's a write-up in the how-tos on a 5" chop that doesn't require any change to the front mounts by Chad. I might just do it but I need a better welder first.

Thanks I'll look it up. Cage is definitely too tall.
