EdwardB’s 35 Hot Rod Truck Build

[edwardb]

Always a pleasure checking in with your builds. Just incredible.

Question. Relative to the coupe I would assume the truck is much easier to get in and out of? I'm guessing having never been in one that you can probably hop in and out. Would like to hear your experience.

Thanks for following the build. The end is approaching. For your question, I'll give the truck a qualified yes. Easier to get in/out than the coupe. I say qualified because it's well known that this version of the truck is tight on the interior. The seats I chose (for the reasons listed earlier in the build thread) make it just a touch tighter. I need the tilt wheel all the way to up when climbing in and out to help clear my knees. I'm 5'9" and even with different seats would be tight if taller. For the passenger side, much easier for my wife to get in/out compared to the coupe. The rest of the story is the new longer cab version, which I understand is the only thing available now for future deliveries, solves all this and then it's an unqualified yes the truck is easier. But I will add the Coupe has more space in the footboxes. So there's that. I do have an automatic. With a manual shift I guess it's possible to narrow the transmission cover and make a little more room. But then you have the clutch on the other side which I don't have.
