The only thing I don't LIKE.

Don't like because It don't fit.
I'm talking about the steering wheel position. I'm 5'11" 175 pound, lost the beer belly years ago and the wheel sits too high and too close to be comfortable. Over the years I have gotten used to wheels being further away from the body and my arms out stretched a little.
Even drove a 69 GMC as my work truck for 10 years, and didn't feel like this.
Both are stock three spoke stock bench seats. My current truck is a 68 same layout as the 69 no difference.
I currently drive a 64 Dodge 1/2 ton and wheel to seat, leg and arm positions
are perfect. Probably spoiled.
Any way we are all shaped differently so no one set up is good for all, even though the old days all you could get is a seat with forward and back adjustments.
I'm thinking of moving the steering wheel shaft in toward the firewall.
