If I just cut the rockers off, the overall proportions will be wrong. I think the doors need to be more ford-like and extend closer to the bottom of the cab/running boards. Has anyone done this or seen it done? (lower the door sills and drop the door bottom) Last edited by Flipper1938; 12/12/08 03:32 PM.
