Insides

Im new here this is my first post and I have done some searching on here for an answer to my question that I have. I am wondering if the actual inside room of the cab is smaller than other trucks. I bought a factory 72 inline 6 with a wood bed a year or so ago and just got around to driving it and it seems alot smaller inside the cab than my partners 71. I know the 80s are bigger but I have drove and rode in other 70s models that didnt seem this small on the inside. Sounds like a ridiculous question to me but without gettin out the tape im just wondering if anyone has any knowledge on this. I also changed the seats back to factory no help are the inline 6 trucks smaller than the V8s?

Re: Insides

same size....

when you say "seats" do you mean the bench?

and if it's a manual truck it makes it feel smaller because your foot on the clutch pedal...

An auto with a tilt makes the truck feel larger....also you can shift the column down closer to the dash to increase the room...
