Looking to get an 1987 Chevy 2500 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

AJB2323 · 03-30-2003, 10:58 PM

Its in good condition, just needs a paint job. I am going to get a great deal on it but the thing is how much room does this have in the cab? Its a regular cab not an ext cab and I am 6'6" so I need a decent ammount of leg room. I would hate to buy the truck and not have leg room, or pass up the offer all together. Any input?

Yea I'm not fond of the bench so I am going to be puttin in aftermarket bucket seats, would that take away leg room?

Welcome to the board.
The truck will have plenty of room for you. Barely though.

For leg room I would raise the seats a little. I have mine raised 1 1 1/2 inches and I feel very comfortable. Just watchout for road bumps or you'll be hitting the roof. :p
