There is a bathroom in there. It has a toilet, shower, and a sink. One fiberglass-avacado green all-inclusive unit. It is on the driver's side of the hallway the first big door at the front. It is for emergencies only because real people don't fit in one of these. This one does happen to be larger than most though.

The crawl-way between the buckets is large enough for an adult to get back there. It is easiest for the passenger to get there because the steering wheel is in the way for me. Plus I worry about the "perfect" blue console that resides between the 2 buckets. Some day a big butt will crack that lid. I am actually thinking of changing it over to a 67-68 bucket set up without the center back rest(suburban style). The middle buddy seat would make it even easier to get back there.

And the gas milage is the same as any big block equiped truck. My first trip to Tennessee last year averaged 10mpg on the freeways doing 75 and 80 mph over the entire 1150 mile trip. Milage is probably better than a newer model with fuel injection. This thing really hauls butt.

Thanks for the replies. I'll post more pics when I get the last of the pine up and white washed.
