Hi there,
I will be working in the oil fields of Alberta starting in a few weeks. I have big plans for my truck once I get a few pay checks under my belt. One of the more major mods I want to do, is to completely redesign the top half of the truck's cab.
All 80s pickup trucks had a very upright, tall build because aerodynamics weren't being considered. I would like to angle the A pillars (the steel frame boarder between the windshield and side doors) more like newer trucks have. I want it to be just a small as it currently is, but I just want the a pillars to angle back more, rather than being at the ~45 degree angle they are at right now.
This reason for this, is because I want to try and combine "old" style with "new" style into one pickup truck. Other future mods include reshaped tail lights, headlight housings, grill, hood, etc. I will post some pics of a3D model I have mocked up soon.
Obviously I won't be doing this myself in my garage. I am wondering if anyone has attempted to "reshape" any part of their first gen dodge here. Just looking to start a bit of a discussion. Thanks
