Sorry if this has been covered already, but I couldn't find it in a search. I've run across a guy who is selling the cab top from a 5-window. He sawed it off below the seams on the back and on the front window posts.

Would it be simple to transplant this onto a 3-window cab?

I'm not much of a body guy, but I weld well.

It can be done, but it is a challenge. There is a lot more too it than welding them together. Lots of dimensions.. doors, glass and then you have to grind and fill the weld. Doesn't sound simple to me.

I just cut the top off my 50 and installed a 54 top. About 6 hours of cutting and trimming yesterday, and another 6 hours welding today. Next will be to sandblast the welds and start the body work.
