Fitting tall guys in Cab 11/12's

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

My Pattern 12 had one inch and two inch blocks on the drivers side and one inch blocks on the passenger side. Take a look at the metal channel the seat rails sit on there is another 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 that could be removed. But I'm not sure if it would actually make much difference to the leg length issue. Lower the seat also might make the problem of how much you have to be able to fold your legs up more of an issue.

Driving the truck with out the cab top definitely makes easier for tall or heavier people to get in and out of the passenger seat as you can just step up into the truck and then sit down. No top is not much help on the drivers side though as you have to work your legs in under the steering wheel.

I'm a bit surprised that in this discussion the point that people are in general taller and heavier than they were back in 1940.

Cheers Phil
