3k sounds about right considering the work involved including all new custom size glass eek I've got a hankering to section a certain model car someday, and know what it takes to make a mod that major - search on this board for top chops , they've had a few "tech-o-matic" threads w/ pics of what's involved and a number of the guys there have chopped AD's

Here I am circa 1974 chopping mine. I now am chopping a "new" cab because that one wasn't that well done. But anyway, it is do-able, I did mine when I was 16 years old so I imagine it can't be that hard.

Josh, I'm getting ready to chop my 48. Go to this website, www.nucleus.com/~agingles/ALAN5.HTM . It shows a step by step chop on a AD truck. It's a great site. Let me know what you think. Good luck.
