The pillar was true and equal on both sides but the slider isn't exactly in the same position on both sides so thats where I messed up.
 
And yes I will be filling the holes on the top with sheetmetal I just need to pick up some first :)
 
You're going to cut the roof out but leave the back of the cab on? Why not just cut the back off above the seat and get rid of the rear window if you already cut that much out?

That's a different frame than the one you are putting it on isn't it?
 
Nope thats the frame I shortened. I am thinking about cutting it all off. but I don't feel like getting hit in the head with pieces of mud or rocks, and don't feel like ditching it just yet. Next year or the year after when I have a little one or need to carry more people than me and the wife then i'll ditch the bulkhead and put in seats in the rear.
 
I was assumnig you would have some sort of fender over the rear tires to prevent that. But it will work cool the way it is now too.

I thought it was another frame because it didn't have the 63s in the back yet. When is that going on?
