Cab space of 67-72 versus 73 and up?

Does anybody happen to know what cabin space of a 68 has in comparison to the 73 and up models? More? Less? My 68 feels a bit smaller but in the 73 the dash and plastic everywhere seems to take up more space.

more room in the later ones, but way less style and class.

the 73-87 has a squarer body and a more vertical windshield which makes for more cabin volume. the 67-72 is certainly more classic and stylish with curvier body lines and a raked windshield.....

I agree about the classier look, but I think that we are all a little biased!

i found the square body cabs to feel funny personally. The seat feels low and too hard, plus way too flat. Almost like sitting on plywood inches off the floor. The headroom is excesive IMO, I am 6 foot and a tick over 200 pounds, and it felt like I had 2 feet over my head to the roof.
I know we are biased over here, but the square bodys have always felt funny... out of proportion to me.

I like square bodies and I like 67-72s
Both cabs feel awkward to me.
