89 chop top

Great build. What about using ranger rear cab parts for filler pieces over the taillights? I am wanting to make a roll down rear window like on full size broncos. I have 2 girls so i still need the back seat. I want to cut and section a fsb tailgate. Then use ranger rear cab section and back bed pieces to fill the gap over the taillight.

Thanks BTW,

I know what you mean with the kiddies. My first chop I left the seat and we enjoyed it a lot. My boys loved riding in it. I ended up selling it for parts to a buddy when the motor went. I had a 302 sitting to put in it but also a 15 year old needing a vehicle soon, who was chomping at the bit for a 302 B2, I thought maybe a 4 cyl. ranger was a better option for him to start with.

The chop top I gave bobby I cut ranger bed rails off and welded em on the bII. Then just welded on tail gate mounts and put a ranger tailgate on it.

That makes for a really clean look. I just haven't found the right bed yet to do a version of that

Got the racks and stuff like I want it I think. Roof rack on the roof of the cab, the rack mounted and spare tire back on.

On another note I found a ranger bed to butcher. Hopefully get the rear bed corners done soon

It's been a delay on my build. Little fight with breast cancer siphoned my play money and took priority. Finally past it. My wife is the strongest person I've ever seen!! After a long year of surgeries and treatment. Cancer free and getting back to some kind of normal.

Made a change to the front fenders used a smaller trim to get the shape I wanted. Still have some body work to do to be pretty but it's roughed in

Put bed corners from a ranger to finish off the back. Body filler still damp

Ok it's been a while obviously. I'll get these things turned right maybe
